My Ambilobe girl laid 23 eggs for me today. She seems to be doing good this evening. Any suggestions on slowing her down? This is her second clutch since I got her I don't want to burn her out laying all the time.
Here is what I use for an egg laying bin. I filled a 5 gallon bucket with playsand and Jungle growth soil. Built a wooden frame around the top of the bucket, and then attach a piece of plywood with a hole cut out in the top to form a bottom for the screen cage to sit on top of it. This gives me a pretty large area of dirt on the floor of the cage for her to pick her spot. I just make sure there is a couple branches going to the dirt so she can get in and out. Figured I'd share the idea because it works pretty well.
