I have to disagree. To say that if she's eating then she's not gravid is not always true. Yes for most females once you start your breeding season and even more so once they begin to build and ovulate they stop eating. Not all females do this. We have a couple that ate all through breeding,ov and while gravid. Being big fat and full of eggs didn't stop these girls from missing a meal. I agree that it's not common for them to continue eating while gravid but it's not a set in stone fact.
