Mon started laying eggs again today

Jan 25, 2012 10:07am
It's just been a few days since I removed Mon's last batch of 7 unfertilized eggs, and she's laid another one this morning. She lays eggs more frequently than monthly over the last 6 months.

There doesn't seem to be anything to do about it. She won't lay eggs as long as there are 6 or 7 there. But then she's spending all her time taking care of the eggs, which must be exhausting.

And if I remove the eggs she just lays more.

It doesn't matter if she's by herself in her own cage or living with Hao in his cage, or if there is a nest or not, or nesting materials or not. She just lays eggs.

I just removed her last unfertilized batch less than a week ago. She's laying eggs every month now, like clockwork. doug

A couple of minutes with Hao-chan

Hao explores my desk, sings a couple of songs and comes when I call him at the end. I wish you could see him watching this movie; he seemed fascinated by it.

It was just a week ago that I removed Mon's last batch of unfertilized eggs she laid earlier this month. And look what I just found. doug
