Female Tunisian eggs???? - Page 2

Oh quite a while back now Dan. A few months she has been with him since.

Get her back with a male

Just one on one so he can focus his attention on her. She is very hormonal and probably ovulating, thats why all the mounting. Just leave them together until she starts pacing, hopefully a bit over a month after you introduce them.

Than get her on her own to let her lay in peace. You shouldn't have to put her back with a male after that. She will be fertile for at least this laying season.

I did put her with the male yesterday not sure he did anything, but i will put him back with her.

**egyptiandan64** · 05-02-2008, 02:21 PM

You definately need to leave them together more than one day

After a bit the male will calm down and stop ramming and mounting, than you know he's probably caught her.

If you ever get a male come up for rehoming Sarah, I have a friend who has just lost her
male Tunisian, had an autopsy done and he had a malignant growth. She is a great keeper.
I rehomed a female to her, as I didnt want non hibernating speices. The female has just
started to lay eggs. So she is very disappointed.

Like Linz I have had a few 'phantoms', its very hormonal in my shed
