Default My Royal's an eating Machine :D!!

I bought a 06 female royal in the summer and she was underweight and had some feeding issues ( just for a change )

To cut a long story short, here's a section from her recent records

19/09 - 810g
01/10 - 885g
16/10 - 977g
29/10 - 1170g......(full)
18/11 - 1275g

She's now pounding 2 small rats a week .......... and looking for more

has she done a poo recently, cos I got my female up to almost 1100g, and i thought yeh, might breed next year if she keeps eating well, and she did the hugest poo i have ever seen last week, like half her body length, and lost 200g!!!!! back to square one.
