I don't believe there are alot of breeders that offer meals weekly during breeding season. With the lack of alot of belly heat at night they don't get the heat they need to digest like they can in the summer months. I believe some breeders even go off feed completely during breeding season.



I use small meals and usually offer every other week (small rat for 1500g females)



I can try making the temp change a bit more drastic but we'll see.....we've also had a very mild winter so far...so when it starts getting cold I imagine that things will change.



oh...and she is ~1800g, and a 2004 female.



Any other ideas or suggestions I'd take them?
