I have a female ball that I introduced late this year (early to mid-April actually). I have been trying to see if I can feel for folicles over the last couple weeks. I just left town for a week and before I left she was in shed and I thought I felt something. Well, when I came home she had shed and the things I felt seemed to have grown substantially bigger over the week. I offered her food yesterday and she SLAMMED it! Is this normal behavior from a female that is developing? Should I keep introducing the male? This my first attempt at this any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
