: In my experience, gravid female Indigos are sparatic feeders, and prefer small meals. Try f/t mice or chicks every five days or so...don't try rats unless they are very small. It's normal she won't eat as much as usual, but try to get her to eat some small meals. Dusting with calcium suppliments is a good idea too.
: Hope this helps.
Jef,
I feed my female easterns VERY SMALL meals all dureing the time that they are carrying eggs up to the time that they lay them. MANY refuse food altogether, but for the ones that will accept it, I offer it. I do agree that feeding them heavy does not increase egg production, nor size of eggs. Just my 2 centsd worth. congrats on you succesfull breeding.
