A female stopping eating is not, I repeat not a sign she's wanting to breed.
They do quite the opposite in fact, most will go on feeding terrors before breeding since they know they need the extra meals to produce nice viable eggs.
I start females breeding at that size no problem, but they are eating or they don't get started.
Also realize moving her can throw her off feed for awhile, not something you want to happen at that size.
Also quarantine takes time too. Lots to think about before just doing a breeder loan ...
That said the arrangement isn't bad if it truly is a friend who won't mess you over.
