    Red face Ravenous female..how much?

    Axanthic female has been locking very successfully, was advised she may be ovulating..she is CONSTANTLY..looking for food, soon as I approach her she is jumping up alert in strike mode wanting food..do you feed her til she is satisfied or draw a line..she would eat multiple items daily if given the chance at the moment, havnt bred before so advice needed..thanks

    I tend to feed twice a week when they get like that..they know better than we do what they need. If she'll eat feed her..I have been giving them every 5 days.. and they really seem to do well during the breeding season.

    Oh..yea I mean if you normally feed like 3-4 mice a week going to twice that whiles she's breeding shouldn't hurt..just don't force it.. they know when to stop..
