    Another "Is she overweight" thread.

    So Rei is roughly 18 months now. She last weighed 744grams empty on Feb 13th
    I weighed her today and she topped out at 844 grams(BUT she hasn't pooped for at least 2 meals now)x so that isn't an empty weight.
    She is currently on a 1 small rat every 10 days schedule, however I'm wondering if I need to cut her back to 14 days. She's looking well, maybe overweight to me.
    I might also mention she's still in a 20gal long, I am anxiously awaiting her T10(ordered 10 weeks ago, should be here soon!). She really isn't as "active" as she used to be, spends a lot of time in her hides(which is normal ik).
    I also know this is my first BP girl, and I don't have any experience on what a good size healthy female should look like.

    Anyway Question is:
    Is she getting overweight?
    Do I need to cut back her food?
    Will the bigger enclosure help her burn more energy?

    Am I just worrying and she's fine? lol
