Male looses interest = female gravid?

[Jrgh17]

So tonight I put Nate and Meara together for the third (and final?) time. Nate has ALWAYS been rather quick to put the moves on any girlie in the vicinity, so I was really surprised when he looked at Meara, sniffed a bit, and then curled up to sleep.

Meara has been getting quite large lately, and is growing fast. My question is this: Do males tend to lose interest after the female becomes gravid, or are they happy to keep spreading the DNA 'round? Do boys have 'off days' in the middle of the breeding season?

I realize this one may be difficult and not have a good answer, but how much weight (total, or per week) should I expect Meara to be gaining when she's gravid?

P.S. Google is trying to be subtle about Meara's weight gain. :grin01:

She is probably gravid and he doesn't have the interest that he once did because she's been watching tv and eating ice cream and putting the weight on......I mean because she is knocked up....I mean...well, how do you say it?

Seriously, she is probably with eggs and the phermones have changed and they no longer spark his interest. I've seen this quite a few times....usually on a female that has been mated a few times already. I've also seen it with females that I'm too late to get to....i.e. the last one in line for a particular male.
