    Re: Trying to get mom that laid eggs to eat

    I never try to feed a female after she lays until she sheds. usually a week later. i know they can and will eat but to me it just seems to work. also always try to palpate after they lay. could have 1 stuck and that would not be good.

    Yeah I did do that just because she looked sooo empty after she laid and I had to feel her, and she was for sure empty. That seems like a good way to do it just so theres no worrying either. Good to know theres no set time.

    I've had luck offering something both live and significantly smaller than what is usually offered (large mouse rather than a medium sized rat, for instance) when I have a stubborn feeder. It usually helps to kickstart their appetite.
