I have a quick question for all you milk guru's out there.I have a female tangerine honduran that was cooled and bred after her 1st shed. she has put on alot!! of size to the last 1/3 of her body.It looked really disproportionate compared to the 1st 2/3 of her body but I am not able to feel eggs. she is close to her second shed ( really blue ) and Im hoping that this could be her pre egg laying shed but she is not eating now and seems to be slimming down alittle is this normal ( for her to slim down towards the end) I hope she'll lay if shes gravid in about 2 weeks her weight out of the cooler was 350g now shes @ 450g but maybe loosing alittle.

Thanks Chris

Ps. Do females put on that kind of weight when they ovulate or does that fattening up in the last 1/3 of her body signify eggs?
