It is difficult to tell. Mine is as big as a house and I have another like it but neither have dropped. Perhaps your waiego is ovulating? Also, I do not think this species eats a rodent diet in the wild, hence there is not much information available on them from strictly feeding them domestic mice. So perhaps they fatten easily? It is hard to determine except if you have witnessed a male on the female. And it seems that when my waiegos got fat, the male was on her more and more. After a few weeks of that I separated them as she was trying to get away from him all the time. Perhaps I did wrong and he needed to breed longer. In any case, I at least am learning a bit about this procedure as it seems much different from what I have experienced with other species. Waiegos don't seem to get easily impacted so soak her in a deli and if she is indeed full of poop, she ought to release it in a few hours or day. Either case, try to get a male and if she is indeed ovulating, she will be more receptive and he more attracted to breed.
