I am not sure with everything and wish you the best. Keep caring for her. Get her well as you can. You can figure it out I am sure.
Totally disagree.
Typical thought process of breeders that pump females to the gills. She is an adult and fed almost every 4 days. Some mammals in the wild don’t even eat that often.

Some retics just push. The fact JM can open the cage and she sits and chills signals something.
More and more food is a bandage that will cause another problem down the road.

She’s in good condition and has been cared for perfectly IMO.

Feeding stops pushing because of diverted energy to digestion.

That’s not the answer especially every 4 days.

If he was under fed she’d look a lot different.
