I’m pretty sure my female veiled is receptive. I’m wondering what changes if anything at this stage. She is not plump but has been exploring more of her enclosure the past week and going to her lay bin frequently though that is where she goes to the bathroom too. Her colors have been vibrant all week whereas normally she is more muted during the day and bright at night. She also has this new tan yellow spots and stripes.
1. Should I change anything with diet or supplements if there is a chance she is receptive and may have or start to grow
2. Should I add a dripper once a day or is she good as long as she poops regularly and has urates?

Cage Info:
Has a lay box filled with 50% washed play sand 50% potting soil
