Post mating eating: Horn Shark

Hello all. I am hoping some of the shark breeders on this forum can help me out. My horn sharks mated, which is great. However, the female has decided that she doesn't want to eat. So, I am a little concerned to say the least. Is this normal for sharks which have just mated? She hasn't eaten for 4 days. I should note the prior 3 feedings were large.

What was the spacing between those last 3 large feedings?

I wouldn't worry about it yet, probably still full from those large feedings

I hope so. It would be a real bummer to have come this far just to have her die due to mating!
