I know what you mean. I've had some that got pretty thin and I just wished they'd eat something! Then I realized I was hoping they'd eat something so I would feel better about their condition. But in reality, if they needed something to eat, they'd eat. So I resolved to keep offering them food periodically, and if they didn't eat, they probably didn't need to. I haven't lost any females yet to starvation while being gravid (or otherwise for that matter). And, since I've accepted that nature still has a bigger role to play in this process than I do, (i.e. I don't have to be in complete control), I'm not as stressed.
