sounds like shes either scared to lay them or shes having trouble. get a box which is about 9 inches long and same again in width. put a hole in the top or side big enough for her to get in and out. put about 300g of vermiculite and 300 ml of water and mix it together. or you can use spagum moss in there. put it over the heat matt and leave it for a couple of days and she should unload. |

I would put in a nexting box so she feel safe and secure to lay the rest. But that's the only advice I have x |
