    is she pregnant?

    so a little behind the story. I'm a noob so im not quite sure but I weighed her on 5/29 she weighed 1425g. I put my male pastel (1129g) with her and left them for about 5 days. I took them out neither would eat. I left of the 6/4 for vacation and neither of them have eaten for over a month. I returned and my roommate said the pastel ate a small rat while I was gone. I returned on the 6/11. I weighed her she was down to 1405g on 6/13 I fed her a small small rat around 40ish grams. weighed her on 6/17 and she now is up to 1494g and looks like that. So what does everyone think?

    She looks pretty normal to me. Is that last weight just after feeding or has she passed a stool?

    Even if she was gravid, things don't magically gain weight. Only way she's gained weight is from eating, egg wise it's more visible signs. Personally I don't think so, but good luck with her!

    Water weight. She does not appear gravid, and that is a reeeeeeallly short timeline for that to have occurred (as in, nearly impossible).

    Anything is possible Gator. But like Anna said very short timeline so most likely not plus she is eating.

    Yeah, the eating would be a tipoff to me as well-- gravid females tend to fast until after they've laid. I'll x2 on water-weight, especially if she's been fasting for a bit and just had a meal.
