What I am trying to get you to understand is, you do not have to make assumptions like, she likes it. There are measurable results that can tell you how much she likes it. AS I mentioned, if she lays the day after shedding, she is not held back by a poor choice. If she holds the eggs 14 days, then she is not finding what she wants. The degree or quality of nesting is somewhere inbetween. Day after, equals good, 14 days, is a long time to hold eggs needlessly. See what I mean.
As I said, you take good care, so your animals are strong enough to withstand delayed nesting. But as they age, they will at some point not withstand it.
The other point is, why cause them stress when you do not have to. Please understand, its not about the box, cardboard etc. Its measured in days. That is what you measure. Thanks and good luck
