...he started bringing eggs a month early.
Sunday when we came home, my son spotted three eggs in Squirt's enclosure. Squirt is a Bell's Hingeback we had just amazingly been able to adopt almost a month ago. I am about 99% sure they won't hatch, but just having her lay them was a great surprise. It's been over ten years since we had any Bells eggs causing us stress and great anticipation.
Before you ask, no my male is not the father. Squirt is still in isolation and will be for months yet. She has been in this adoption program for over a year and with no other Hingeback. So chances are pretty slim for fertility, but then again still possible for a few more years with retained sperm.
Still it's a start.
