Ive had this leo for a month or so. She was only 6g tiny little thing when I got her, I really wanted it to be male but alas I see no evidence of pores of bulges so Im pretty confident its female. Shes been acting a bit strange the past couple days, normally she eats like a horse but the past few nights shes just eaten one or two roaches then lost interest or just laid down flat. Last night she seemed kind of agitated when I took her out so I put her right back and left her be. I went in to check on a couple of my new arrivals at around 3am to find her standing on her hind legs front legs on the glass staring off into space she wasnt peddling like trying to climb the wall just standing there, she had also dug all the eco earth from the corner of her tank out (I have her on tile with a layer of eco earth underneath and to fill in the cracks), shes also been sleeping at random times and awake during the day moving around. Shes still pretty active, pooping like usual. Temps are 88-90 on the hot side controlled with a thermostat on an UTH 70-75 cool side. I feed dubia, crickets, mealworms and the occasional waxworm all gutloaded with organic fruits, veggies and cereal. Supplement with fluckers calcium with D3 daily and herptivite 2x a week. Im not entirely sure how old she is because she came from a petstore. I dont really have any experience with ovulation and have no intention of breeding any of mine so I hadnt really researched it much, but I was thinking 20g was too small to be ovulating, everything Im reading is listing the above as signs. Im probably being overly worried but wanted to ask if this was anything to worry about as Im leaving for a funeral out of town day after tomorrow and have a trusted friend who will be coming over to watch them. Basically Im just looking for some reassurance, is there anything I should be watching for or doing differently if she is infact ovulating? I havent checked her stomach since she was irritated with me last night I didnt want to stress her more trying to look at her belly.

I thought she'd be too young too. I dont think shes about to shed again she just finished a shed 3 or 4 days ago. Shes just acting very strange so I guess maybe just keep an eye on things? I would be much less concerned if I wasnt about to leave for four days.
