    Re: Update on my pregnant Eastern

    If she's not gravid she shouldn't be getting fatter and fatter. Is she still eating? Pooping? Does the poop look normal?

    Yes, she has been eating, has still been pooping normal poops. She just has been eating A LOT more lately. She might have just put on a few extra pounds.

    Little by little, anywhere from a gram to 5 grams a week.
