Why wont she eat?

My girl corn used to be a fantastic eater. ANY THING any time. I put her in with a male and they did the dead. She ate once but has basically stopped eating. She has NO interested in anything, big, small or otherwise. Could she be gravid? Last year she mated as well but no eggs. Any suggestions?

Sorry instead of "did the dead" it should have been "did the tango" I am sure you get the idea.

It's not unusual for a female to stop eating prior to laying eggs.

How long was her last meal after she paired and how long ago to date was she bred?

She ate 2 weeks ago, which was 8 days after she paired with the male. Thanks for your help.

My girls usually quit eatting 1-2 weeks before they lay. Though I do have the oddball here and there that will eat 2 days before they lay. Females will usually lay 60 days after being bred, and then another 60 days from laying to hatching for the eggs.

I wouldn't be too concerned will her not eatting in 3 weeks time, it does happen. I have some girls that will only take a single meal every two weeks. Just give her some space for a few days and try again.
