And that was before she got upset!
I felt every contraction, I think a few bones in my hand have never healed!

I feel her pain!!!...serves you right..HAHA!!

I must be a slow learner too because I did it again!

A day without a good laugh is a day wasted!

I'll drink to that!...............Who's Shay?

 

[ronnie]

Hi guys....well this girl has me stumped!she took 2 crickets and a locust from me this morning and i think she would have taken more had i offered it to her....could i have been wrong about her carrying eggs all along?She is still showing no intrest what so ever in the laying bin

 

[jojackson]

I wouldnt worry too much Ronnie, cant hurt to leave the bin in just in case. They all tend to assume every female must be about to lay eggs here
Long as shes healthy looking, eating drinking etc, just enjoy it!

She may have been receptive and not gravid. Lily used to go off food for a week or so when receptive - all she wanted to do was wander and come out of her cage looking for a male, I presumed. Like Trixxi she then started to eat again.

Cheers jojackson...laying bin in all the time anyway...as i said to Miss Lily maybe she was just having a fat day! (i have lots of those!!)

Thanks for the PM Miss Lily...silly question (sorry!) and i should be looking this up but maybe one of you guys can help me out...when or if she was receptive will this inevitably lead to her producing eggs and if yes how long in between being receptive and laying?Thanks for any help

I have asked this in the past, and i don't think there's a definitive answer to that one! I did work out from Lily's behaviour that when she started to cycle eggs she would have a day where she would go dark and hide. She also appeared very 'hard' and bloated almost like she was full of air. I realised what was happening the second time, and as I had kept a log of all her behaviour, etc, I worked out that she would get her 'bloated' day and then go on to lay a clutch approx 3.5 to 4 weeks after that.

Thats a really good idea (keeping a log)thanks for the idea and also for all the help...if my girl ever does get round to laying for me all your advice will be invaluable
