    She ate today - so much for being gravid

    I put my male who would breed a garden hose if given the chance in with one of my oddball females and saw them going at it several times over the course of two weeks. I seperated them yesterday and offered the male food today. He refused so for the heck of it, I offered it to the female. She slammed it as soon as I put it in the tub. I was not expecting her to eat. She looked like a stuffed sausage and she still ate. I haven't had a gravid female eat for me before. Is she just hungry or is it possible that even though she shows signs of being gravid, she really isn't. I REALLY want her to have eggs so I can line breed and prove her so I am really bummed at the thought that my hopes are shot.

    Did you ever see her ovulate?

    Yes on both counts. That was why I was sure she took but the way she slammed that f/t rat before it even hit the tub was not what I was expecting at all. She hit it faster this time than ever.

    Well, fingers crossed that she's on a preggo hunger streak. If you have to start scenting rats with ice cream & pickles, you'll know for sure.


    Thx for the kind words on the blood...I hate to play favorites...but he's my favorite!!!
