she's just had a big feed and all is calm again, another of my hermans is eating a lot of cuttle fish as well so she should be laying soon as well as all my females start eating a lot of cuttlefish a week or so before laying
so far 8 eggs in the incubator 7 Hermans and 1 Horsfield, 2 of the 4 Hermans laid about 3 weeks ago look infertile but the other 2 look promising. |

checked all the eggs last night.
1st four from the new female (hermans) 1 is fertile but its her first time laying so didn't expect that much from this clutch. the 1 from the Horsfield looks infertile but again her first clutch as far as I know. the last 3 (shown in the picture being laid) are all fertile. so all being well we'll have the patter of tiny feet again soon. |
