I read about controlled studies done on T. radix and T. s. parietalis which concluded that the food intake after fertilization has no effect on the health and mass offspring but it has a direct effect on the mother's mass once she has her babies. This seems to support what I have observed. Last year, two of my girls ate very little and fasted for the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. Those two were all "caved in" after they had their babies. The girl that continued to eat vigorously during all but the last 5 days of her pregnancy didn't look so bad after she had them, and bounced back very quickly.

Did your girl not eat well during pregnancy?
