Also you should elaborate more about feeding. Building up to breeding you need to supply your females with alot of extra food so they have the proper fat stores to sustain them through the breeding season and eggs..Also I think you should try offering food more than twice before stopping feeding, I dont stop offering until after they refuse 4-5 times and I notice them building. I had one that went off feed for a month and is building and glowing but I could tell she wanted something so I offered and she ate. You got to know your animals and be able to listen to them and what they are telling you. Also from what I have heard females will eat while on the eggs and its probably best to get them eating again soon after they lay otherwise your looking at another two months without food=not good.
