In my experience (we have over 50 breeder females at the moment) it is extremely rare- at best -for a female to feed after ovulation....

Extremely rare to feed after ovulation. Many will go on a short feeding spree (1-3 meals) when they are committing/growing follicles (between 1.0 - 2.0cm).

Brad and Grant already said it,but I'll chime in too>.None of mine have ever taken anything offered to them after an ovulation(,and they usually feed like mad before the ov.)
