Hello Everyone.
About 11 days ago my female NosyBe laid her 3rd clutch. (most likely infurtle) she is almost 2 years old. I use a pretty big plant pot for her laying bin that stays in her cage. So she dug and dug and laid 11 eggs all the way on the bottom of the pot. (the pot is about 16 inches deep). So once she was done I dug them up and have them incubating, and put her bin back in her cage. I always keep it in her cage. Now Ive noticed she has been slowly digging again for the last week or so. She is slowly starting to look dehydrated and I am starting to worry about her health. In her first 2 clutches she has laied from 22-28 eggs. How long should I let her mess around with digging and not laying before I get her into a vet. I have food in her cage and a mistking that goes off daily, so if she isnt eating and drinking its by her own choice, this was her third clutch so she knows what she is doing.
I just dont get why she would only lay 11 eggs after all that digging, then completely cover it all up if she wasnt done laying.
Is it time for a vet visit or should I give her another week or so? I have been hand misting her for long periods of time ontop of the mistking to try to get her to drink since she is starting to look a bit dehydrated, but she isnt drinking. She is just sitting there getting misted with her eyes closed. Once I am done, she gives me a mean look and moves on.
Any info would be appreciated.
