That is true, and it would seem she is. She's almost doubled in size already, weight wise. She went off food for 3 weeks but a couple days ago ate a couple large night crawlers. I love how chubby she is now it's so cute. Maybe I'll get a picture of her in a couple days.

Northwesterns don't make it so easy for us.

Your girl probably is gravid though. An early mating, and then one later followed by ovulating is pretty typical
