If you are seeing that kind of dramatic weight loss in an animal that you are breeding maybe you shouldn't be breeding it. Maybe it needs a season off.
I am sorry to go a little off the main topic at hand... but I felt that it was necessary to state my opinion on this.

My guy wouldn't breed her if she wasnt healthy. And for the record, she isn't a little tiny 6ft
bci. This is his BIG GIRL. She's a 10.5 ft hypo het albino
bci female. Giving this thing a 'large' rat is about the equivalent of giving a 5 footer an adult mouse. He doesnt feed as large as he can, he feeds more often.
