Try to not handle her or take her out of the enclosure for the next 10 to 14 days.
No change in husbandry at all, temperatures have been the same. Humidity has been constant between 42-50%. It's hard to not think of it as a waste, but you're right. I haven't held her in over a week and won't handle her till after she eats and digests. She doesn't seem sick, I took her to the vet not too long ago with a clean bill of health. I'm going to try a large mouse at the next feeding, and if that doesn't work I'm going to try live again. It's just frustrating. I mean, it is about the time for females to become gravid, so maybe she thinks she should be? She's never been bred, and I swear if I find eggs I will freak out.
