This is my 2016 mojave bumblebee. She weighed in at about 1600g at the end of July this year so I started pairing her with my mojave banana. I lowered my hot spot temperature to about 85. It's usually 90-92. She was absolutely ravenous for the following two months (August and September), eating a small-medium rat every 6-7 days. I paired her twice in that time frame. It is now October and she has just refused her first meal. She did show some interest in it but didn't take. I haven't weighed her again or handled her much because I'm not sure how fragile they are when pregnant.. Should I attempt to offer food again or is it time now to wait for eggs?
Does she look like she is progressing well? What stage would you say she is in at this point? When should I raise my temperature back up? These are photos from about a week ago.
Thanks!
