    I bought some girls that had recently laid and they looked like that. It took them maybe a month to firm up. Can you verify with the breeder it was so recent? How are her eating habits? How does the stool look? When did she last poo?

    She hasn't eaten since I've had her (3 months). I near told early December was her last meal (small rat). Like I said she's maintained weight for the time I've had her. I'll just keep offering food. I bought her to breed her but I guess I'll make sure she puts some more weight on first.

    Oh, yeah, she's just not back up to weight. Did she lay a huge clutch?

    It took my smaller girls a few months to completely lose the flabby look, and they were pretty good about eating. Older adults tend to go on feeding strike in response to a change in environment. She'll lose the flab when she starts eating again.
