Trying to get mom that laid eggs to eat

[Animals As Leaders]

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.
