Receptive/gravid question

[MissSkittles]

It’s been about a few weeks since Grumpy went thru her receptive phase and I expect her to lay eggs any day now. She’s looking a little lumpy. However, Stella for the past couple of weeks has been showing some markings but hasn’t shown any of the restlessness that Grumpy has when receptive. Stella too is showing some little lumps in certain positions and where she’s always eaten with gusto, now she’s getting fussy. Can they appear to skip over being receptive and go right into the gravid phase? Both have lay bins and (eek!) I’m as ready as I can be.
This is Stella. Doesn’t have much color to her markings, but she’s been looking like this for a couple of weeks. She’s always been kind of muddy colored.

Could it be that you just didn’t see her throw her receptive colors?

Anything is possible. I have been expecting her to look and behave similarly to Grumpy. Perhaps she is just doing things in her own unique way.

Either way I’m sure you will find out soon enough.

Very true.
