Ohhh i hope she is ok, did she pass the egg?

[kawaiichibi]

Yeah, she eventually did! Now for the next few days it'll just be me stressing over how many she's going to lay and if she's alright haha Though her eggs aren't fully white, they have this patch (I'm guessing where the embryo is, they move toward the heat source) where there's a few lines/speckles that you can see without light, I was a bit worried but I've been told not to worry too much by local breeders haha

[skysmum]

Im so pleased she is ok and passed the other egg, a tense time when they are laying for sure, keep us updated

[kawaiichibi]

Yep me too! I've been trying not to check on her today and so I've only done the morning nest check, will do one when again this morning, just get so worried about her!

[kawaiichibi]

Just wanted to update: She's going really good! She has 10/11 eggs right now Nigel is doing a really good job at helping feed her and even helping incubate the eggs from time to time with her (I'm surprised that many eggs do fit under her! Haha). It's getting really close to when they should start hatching! I haven't incubated any of them, I'm too scared I'll drop the torch on them or something! I keep missing the time she hops out of the nest box to actually count how many eggs she has, but what I got to quickly count on Friday she has 10/11

[skysmum]

My goodness that's a big clutch . Have you got some hand feeding formula handy to help mum and dad out if they all hatch?

[kawaiichibi]

I counted while she left yesterday and there's only 8 haha, but yep I've got some

[milliej]

Good grief how can such tiny bodies lay so many eggs, I wonder if her bums sore

[kawaiichibi]

One little egg hatched early this morning <3
