I got Sprockett out for her run about, and thought..bloomin' hell, you've got a bit hefty haven't you?

To cut a long story short, I'm 99% sure she's gravid again.

It'd be a double clutch I'm guessing as she hasn't been near Gobo, apart from when I first put them together in March. (as in they have separate vivs on opposite walls to each other!)

Guess she wanted some eggs then!

*sigh* this means I'm gonna have to make a new nesting box, as I got rid of the last one as I wasn't planning on breeding her again due to her eggbound-ness.

I'm also going to have to get another incubator as this one isn't big enough....



Ah well!! *pats pockets....flies fly out...*

Oh Moina, I bet that was a surprise. You thought you were through all of that and now it is starting all over again!

You say you are 99% sure.....I do hope you are that 1% wrong!

Is she eating?

Is there anything you can do to prevent the problem of eggbound-ness?

she's eaten quite a lot, tonight is food night again, so we'll see whether she feels like eating. her feeds since she finished laying were very large mice, and she wolfed them down. I'm going to get some of the stuff you put in their water to keep her health up.

I'll have another feel of her tonight, but there was a long line of lumps from her lower to mid section.

:S

I hope she's ok and knows what she's doing.

That's a good idea to add stuff to the water, he extra calcium boost is sure to help even if she isn't carrying eggies. I hope she's ok

Calcium is always a good idea if they are going to double clutch, also nutrabal is good, it has all the vitamins and minerals they need on a day to day basis, and also is good for forming the eggs, and laying them.

I can feel 11 in there, there may be more if they're smaller.
