Decided that things have been too quiet in this section for too long, so....
I decided to tell you guys that I am kicking my butt, because I failed to listen to my inner voice. I had been home and was cleaning out all my pens, when Jeff (my husband) stopped by to tempt me with a trip to California. Catch was, I had to leave immediately.
I had just been stirring round in the Bells enclosure looking for eggs and thinking I needed to add even more substrate, so females could nest. I had no reason to be thinking eggs. The females were both eating and acting normal, but still I was thinking eggs. I decided on the truck driving and didn't get to do the Bells' enclosure.
Got the call two days later from my son...
Yep you guessed it. My Bells laid eggs on top of the substrate and of the three eggs, two were broken when he found them. So bad news is, I lost two eggs, but hey... I GOT A BELL'S EGG IN THE INCUBATOR...*doing a happy dance*
