So 2 weeks into wind down my female had decided to lay eggs so what do I do?
I assume I should feed her once she's finished laying do I keep her going for another couple of weeks then start wind down again? Any advice wound be grateful.
Thanks

Depends on what her weight is after laying the eggs Sarah as to whether you can continue wind down or feed her up for a bit.

So if she's a good weight it would be ok to carry on with wind down then? I will weigh her later and post her weight etc thanks Danny

she has laid 3 maybe 4 eggs haven't dug them up yet but have just weighed her she is now 825g and 17cm which is showing as low for hibernation so im thinking I should feed her?

Thats really low

I'm getting 998g for her size, so that would be a fair bit of feeding up. That would take at least of month of feeding mostly pellets to get her up to weight. You can try and see how she is at the middle of December.
