Speaking of Mariah, does anyone know if they weighed her while she was in rehab? I've often wondered how the year off from raising a brood affected her weight and overall health.
Mariah didn't have a year off until after her rehab.
I've searched Imprints, and my memory, and as far as I can tell, Mariah did not lay any eggs prior to the battle in 2009. (Thus my mention of a year off.)
I believe, therefore, that this might have helped contribute to her survival after the battle, as her body was not yet in full production mode - she hadn't yet expended the precious nutrients for eggs, which would have somewhat weakened her bones, and she instead used them for her own recovery. Does anyone know if she gained weight during her rehab?
