Once gravid, I feed what would amount to a small rat to my gravid females every 4 weeks or so (if they will take it). I stop feeding 6 weeks out from the estimated due date. Just a couple of small meals to keep them from running strictly off of their body fat reserves.

I have talked to a few people who don't feed at all and still others that feed normally until about a month out.
