hi guys,

just had a curious question about breeding.. her goes:

How long does a female take to ovulate from the date it was bred?? or last mated? i got a female i tried mating with my male about OCT 9,2014 - i was just curious if my pair was ready - to my surprise, when i checked the morning after, i saw them locked up. Last November 3,2014(about 3 weeks after) i saw mommy swelling at the mid part of the body. it looked like she was ovulating, not sure though but i only fed her a medium sized rat on the 26th of october - that was the last i saw her eat, after that, she would'nt take in any food. anyway, she is now on shed. so - would this mean that she's about to go on her pre-shed lay?

it seems so impossible that being bred once, and within a month or 2, she's ready to lay..
i might just be mistaken and shes just on her regular shed cycle.

any thoughts?
