Rescuing a girl...Only JUST found out how bad her situation is =[

Hi,

Stuck shed around the nose can cause wheezing too.

I'd take the time to get the shed off her and take a few pics from above and side on.

I've spent $100 at a vet before just to find this out. lol

Haha xD I'm lucky - for new patients, like Nadezdha, she does a free physical =] So to get her checked out will be for free.

Nadezdha is an awesome name! Where did you come up with it???

It's Russian for basically lucky, fortunate, hope, etc. I thought it was fitting for her =]

And an update! I weighed her, and she came in at a whopping 2061g! So she's a pretty big girl, but still has growing to do!

Okay, so I got a timeline from the previous owner! He says that she locked with the male in October and November. That seems like it was simply too long ago for this girl to be starting to get gravid now, but I could be totally wrong. Hopefully the vet will be able to let us know on Monday! And hopefully she gets a clean bill of health! Do any of you know if that's too long ago for her to be gravid? I don't mind either way, but if she is gravid, I want to be providing her the right treatment, and maybe getting her a nest box or changing the substrate to make her more comfortable with laying eggs. All replies are appreciated =] Thanks everyone!

She can retain the sperm for up to a year or so.
So she could be gravid at any time she wants.
