Does she have a lay bin in her cage?

Does she have a lay bin in her cage?

Yes. 8 inches deep 8 inches wide and 18 inches long. mixed soil and sand

 

[craigbarron79]

when i feel her belly i dont feel any eggs. but I could be doing it wrong.
but equally concerning to me is the not eating

 

[kinyonga]

If she's close to laying eggs she can slow down or stop eating.
Has she been roaming the cage? Drinking more than usual?

My wife did say she was pretty active the other day while i was at work. but just roaming around the top not climbing down.
I have noticed she walks back and forth in her enclosure . but that about it

When it comes to the newest developments in husbandry, we’re all novices. Even the experts are groping in the dark. Your best teacher is your Cham!
