i dont think so. he shed about 2 months ago. as did she at the same time.
when he isn't in there she is all over the place.

however during the day she spends most of her time on the hot spot.
at night she is very active.

she hasn't missed a meal since late august just before i paired them up.
5-6 mice a week.
1 med or large rat for him.

he hasn't eaten his normal meal since nov 1st.
and just this past friday she missed her first meal.
looks for the mouse curiously but no strike.

i havent seen any signs of her being gravid.
water bowl hugging,
folicles(well i have never felt them before, so still new to palpateing.)

when i put him back in with her,
she doesn't scent like she used to.
and he dont give chase like he used to.

he on the other hand is glued to the hot spot.
while she is off and on.
