I think It may be possible anke may be going through her first ovulation and I can see a small pink do to one side of her tummy if I look at her underside- I have looked at pics of leos ovulating on google so I knew what to look for- I would include a pic but she is grumpy today so I thought it was best to leave her.

She has been active when im not around as I and see calcium foot print every where in her tank.

any help would be great cheers people

She is likely ovulating. It's coming onto that time of year. Just keep offering food on a regular schedule and monitor her weight and poos. if she looks to be losing weight our her stools change, get runny our the urates turn yellow (dehydration) she could have parasites and time for a fecal. If she doesn't lose much weight and eats sporadically likely ovulation.

Cheers with the quick reply Kel, ok Ive been offering her morio worms at her normal feeding time still , ok I will keep an eye on her stools aswell. I bought a set of digital scales today so I will weigh her regularly. Many thank

Youre welcome. Happy to help.

Yes, Banana stopped eating last year around this time March-August.. she would eat maybe 1 or 2 morioworms a week, and then some weeks she would stop eating altogether. I'm hoping she doesn't do that again this year lol
