Halp! So I just moved Jasmine, my veiled, into her big girl cage because she is now at least 5 months old. I set her up a laying bin with half coco fiber and half sand. She isn't acting like she has eggs yet, so what should I do with the bin? So far she's been pooping in it. I thought I saw her flick her tongue at it once, but I think she actually caught a loose cricket. She's usually up in the top of her cage. I've been home pretty much all week with the flu, so I've been keeping an eye on her and the bin.
Should I cover it until she starts acting like she needs to lay eggs or is it better to leave it uncovered so she knows it's there when she needs it?
Here's what her cage looks like with the bin:
I may try to move things around and put it in the back so it would give her more privacy because I'm sure she wouldn't want to be laying her eggs right in front of the door when the time comes. I have some more twisted stick things to add to her cage. The one that's in there now is only temporary while the others are drying (I sealed them with polyurethane a few weeks ago). Any suggestions for arranging the bin and plants? Thanks
