1000g wall question

[jesst]

Our lesser female is at 1000g but has not eaten in about a month. She is in a rack with breeding females, should we let her ride it out or should we just pair her to get her feeding again?

How old is the female? I'll breed any female that's three or more years old no matter what the size as long as they appear to be in good health. If younger then that I'll let them wait.

She is only 1.5 years old, but looks healthy

Don't feel too bad, I've got two females doing the same thing right now. Everyone else is leaping from their tubs for food while they could care less. They were two of my best eaters and decided they would take a break. Some just do it as they transition into "ladyhood". Mine just refused for the 6th week Thursday, Just keep an eye on their weight to make sure they aren't dropping rapidly and they should take when they are ready.

Personally I'd wait. She's got plenty of time.
