How common is double clutching in corns? I've heard that double clutching and even triple clutching is common in certain milk species. The reason I ask is that my female sunglow motley has decided to double clutch herself. Her first clutch was perfect, 14 beautiful eggs, and she was showing no signs of being gravid again. She shed, and then two days later laid a slug in her aspen, prompting me to give her a laying box with moist vermiculite. She also laid a slug each of the following two days, both in the aspen. She is finally sitting in the laying box. I'm just curious about why her first clutch could have gone so perfectly by the book, and then this one is going so badly? Is there any chance of the rest of her eggs being good, or is the clutch pretty much doomed?
