After my females clutches I fed her the next day... I offered her as much as she would take in at a single sitting... Usually about 5 hoppers... I did this every 3 to 4 days after the first clutch until she was gravid again... Her food intake decreased as the eggs took up more space...

Since her second clutch I am feeding her exactly the way I explaind above and will decrease the amount of intake in another two weeks when she is back up to or a little over her pre gravid weight...

You need to feed your females a bit heavy especially after dropping their clutches... They need to replenish vital vitamins and calcium...

In my opinion you are under-feeding your hogs... They have higher metabolisms than many other snakes... What temps are you keeping your hog at if you dont mind me asking???
