Well she has a water bowl but it is very shallow at this point and she is consistently keeping her upper body elevated and stretched out and does not coil tightly as these babies are keeping her stretched. Two nights ago I watched her wiggle or contract her sides. I guess she was moving the babies lower? I don't know but if she drops a load of dead babies, I am gonna crap my pants. The male was also humping her a lot when she was gravid so perhaps she stored his sperm? I am wondering if he was able to hump her because she was so fat and could not get away. Perhaps getting the females a bit fat on rodents will ensure the male can hold them still. By the way, the male did go off feed the first time a many months ago when he bred her. But recently when he bred, he did not go off feed? So if you ever pair yours up, be sure to watch the males feeding schedule as it might indicate he is being stimulated by the female?
