Well, I've got limited breeding experience (last season was my first shot at it), but what I did was continue to feed my female small meals (she usually eats xl rats and I would only feed her 1 or 2 smalls at a time), wait for her to defecate, and then feed her again. From what I understand, the biggest risks come late in the term and feeding too large or too late can cause major issues with the unborn babies. So, with that said, my girl never refused a meal during her entire term, BUT I cut her off about 45 days before her due date. She delivered 15 healthy, full term babies and 1 still at 89 days POS. Even with the intake during her term, she was still waaay wiped out and super thin after giving birth, but gained it all back in just a few months. Again, this worked well for me because I let my girl tell me what she wanted and just used some common sense to go along with what she was telling me. YMMV....



Congrats and that definitely looks like ovulation in the pic! Hopefully you get a nice pile like the below in about 4 months!
