It is very common for Leos to stop eating when moved to new surroundings. I would leave her with the group but would remove all the other Leos from the cage when I was going to feed her. This would give her first shot at the food.



Also will she eat pinkies? I have a famale that has laid 18 eggs already this season and has not lost an ounce. However she crushes 1-2 pinkies after every clutch. My females that don't eat the occasianal pinky are lucky to throw 8 eggs in a season, and almost always lose more weight than those that do.



I would really watch her though, especially in regards to food intake. Also you might want to get a fecal exam ASAP, just to be sure. Also prepare for the worst. I know it sucks but occasionally a female will get too worn down from breeding and egg laying and passes away. But I guess that is just one of the risks of breeding.
