Gravid female

[Shabutie]

I currently have a gravid female about 3 weeks into. She's been digging like crazy in her enclosure for the past 3 days and has gone off food today. When I place her in her lay box she doesn't dig at all. Is this normal?

She may not be ready yet. My beardie didn't lay for a while so I took her put her In a pre-made hole and I let the male see her and then she got encouraged to lay and laid 22 eggs.

She layed 13 eggs earlier today only one infertile

Sorry to butt in but how do you know if the eggs are fertile or infertile?

 

[Shabutie]

infertiles will be really soft and yellow where as fertiles will be white and more firm
