Re: Living Gems Breeding Update (August 2016)

Thank you!

Yes, my females usually stop feeding as they get closer to delivery. Some do keep eating though. For those I drop the prey size as they get close.

As they get really close, I will only offer mice. Bigger meals, I've heard, can cause problems as they have so little spare space!
