I disagree. You could, if your female eats well, have her up to a breedable size by breeding time. I had a female go from 900 to 1500 in 3 months. She also slammed food and was a little under weight for her size when I got her. She is gravid as we speak. I do agree with not breeding her if she is not at weight at the time of the season though. Good luck. Let us know what happens.
