Sorry Its been a while since I updated, I have been really busy and just have not been online much lately. But here is the
BIGGEST surprise of the whole ordeal Seems our little princess came with a lot of baggage. My wife was watching a video on YouTube and the girl on there was talking about behaviors of gravid females... I had been playing with her and holding her much of the day as we watched TV but never thought to palpitate her, for I felt she seemed so small and that there was no way she could even be old enough to have eggs. But just to ease my wifes curiosity I done it. I had notice that even though she was eating plenty and pooing regularly that her poops were a bit smaller than usual. So I picked her up and felt her belly and if felt as if she swallowed a whole bag of jelly beans without chewing, The next morning I rushed to Lowe's and purchased a bag of play sand. Put it in a tote, poured in a pot of really warm water and placed in inside with her heat lamp overhead.....
I candled the eggs, and 18 out of 24 were fertile. Apparently her previous owners also owned a male. Now I wonder if they even keep them in enclosures or if they just allowed them to free roam since she escaped.
Mommy Is doing great she began eating as soon as She had a
bath after giving birth, and is loving life I swear she has a proud smile on her face all the time now. We also went to Tractor Supply and picked up a incubator and I already had vermiculite on hand. So far the eggs seem to be doing great, I will candle them again on Sunday to see if there is any progress and check for veining.
