Female Pacing... Not digging!

[CamiGirl89]

Since Cami is making me nervous, I figured I would ask our experts here She is 21 days pregnant, and I just have some behavioral questions. She has not started digging, but paces throughout the day from one side of the habitat to the other. She has been scratching her belly often, and just seems so uncomfortable. Can anyone please give me some insight? I have her large laying bin ready for her, but she just has no interest yet.

Give her time. I've had females go almost 40 days without laying. As long as you have the bin there once she's ready she'll make her way down.

Ok great. I feel so bad for her moving around that way, she is usually so relaxed. This is both her and my first clutch of veileds, so I am trying hard to make sure conditions are perfect for her... New human moms worry more than the new veiled cham moms, I'm sure

as long as she can get in and out she should go there when time

I purchased a wooden bird ladder from the petstore that hooks onto the bin. It's excellent, $1.99 is well worth the knowledge that she is able to easily climb in and out. I read about this idea in a care book that I purchased, and figured I'd share for anyone who might read this thread and need an idea as well.
