Rose hair's abdomen

[csshepherdgirl]

Hi

I've been scouring the Web but can't really find any info that I'm looking for. Are their any other reasons besides an impending molt for an abdomen to swell in size?

She molted in June and is now approximately 5". But lately her abdomen has exploded in growth and she's gone off her feed and she is a very regular feeder. I thought only juveniles molted more than once a year? She seems active and fine other than this issue.

Perhaps there was something wrong with her last molt that she wants to repair? Odd. Thoughts?

Could she be producing eggs? The maybe an egg sac pending.

That would be my guess as well.

Weird. I've had her for five months now, and she's never been with a male during that time. I got her from a pet store so I don't know of her time before that. Uh oh lol.

They can lay eggs even when they haven't been fertilized.

Oh, I didn't realize. Thanks!
