omg shes gonna blow (we think)

When was the last time she ate? When was her last shed?
Its easy to miss ovulation.
Keep a close eye on her. 30 days after the POS is when you should expect them.
Good luck, and keep us posted.

You know after re-reading your posts I found that she has been feeding well and just ate on Wednesday -- which probably means that she is not gravid -- tho it does happen sometimes -- most females won't eat while gravid. I'm leaning more toward her being constipated than gravid. Try giving her a nice long hot soak and a gentle massage.

im awful about the records on our personal collection (something im working on) so im not sure the last time she shed.. at least 3wks ago though... she last ate last wednesday (5dys ago) but has always been an amazing eater... shes had plenty of urates so shes not impacted... She refuses to lock up with Hazard our pastel male.. he used to lock up with her every chance he got and for the last 5-6xs we have put him in nothing happens, the same is true for my other female with not locking up.

With that, there is no way she has 500+g of feeders in there... its just not possible.

duck and cover!!!in the famous words of scotty

Arian my other girl was laying in a perfect circle coil, tail to the outside though, both girls were heat seeking for sure! I can only hope thats a good sign. Ill try to snag pictures later on today

Well write that date down and keep track of the days. You might have some eggs seven to ten days from that date. Like I said I have had males, and females that were not gravid. Do it too after a big meal. About her eating last week or so. I have a female that will eat up to the week before she lays. Yeah she takes smaller than normal rats, but still eats. Id leave her alone as much as you can. Maybe just peek in once a day. Try not to bother her any more than you have to. Being all twisted up is a sign that shes moving eggs around getting them ready. (Or a big turd) I have seen it in females right before an ovulation too. So that could be whats going on too. Well good luck with her, hope everything works out for you.

:) Thanks Ama.. as long as I get eggs from her eventually I dont care if its today or in 40 days from now :gj:

this girl is going to drive me to drink i swear!! now shes all coiled up nice and neat in her perfect circle

Haha.... so exciting!

I'm here on the edge of my seat rooting for your girl!

Brat ate again today.... I soaked her and still nothing too, perhaps it was an "O" maybe we can count on eggs eventually. Our flex watt should be here tomorrow which is good, at least shes holding out for me :D

Arian too ate today for the first time in 9 months... HURRAY!
