OK.....a year is sufficient time to show she should be a solid animal so you are good there. There is the rare instance of a food item being bad so keep that in the back of your mind. Did she shed shortly after being fed.....within a week?

How is the health of the male and how long have you had him?

Was the female kept alone for the year or was she with another animal in the same cage?

Don't try and feed her again for awhile unless she is actively 'hunting' at night. Exactly how long ago did she throw up the meal?

Hey first off thanks for all of your help!!!! I received both of these guys as a pair from a friend of mine who got them from a local pet store who is known fopr WCs.At any rate he took them to the vet and had them treated with panacur and flagly(Spelling)then he kept records which I still have.these guys have always been kept togethjer and it seems when they are together they feed well and dont puike tho they only eat twice a month.the male has had no problems at all he continuse to eat but not as much once a month.she has not eaten in like about three weeks.is this any help?

Well it doesn't sound like either really have a problematic history. I would seperate them so they have their own water dishes amd space. I would give her a few weeks before trying to feed again. Make sure you check on her at night to see if she is visibly 'hunting'. This is a good indication if she is gravid or not. If you try again and she does not feed I would assume she may be gravid. If she regurges again keep me up to date and we will see what we can do!
