Hi Steve, I only used it on one female that seemed to be going way too long without dropping her clutch in the nestbox with spaghnum. I don't know if it was the peat moss, or just offering another option for her, but she laid her eggs in it soon afterwards. I know that its easy to tell when she empty by looking, but after she laid, she stayed buried in it, so I couldn't easily tell if, or when, she was done laying. I worry about eggs possibly being eaten or crushed, and also, you want to get them out of there A.S.A.P., so from now on I'll add that box only if I need to. I did do the "egg hunt" you mentioned on that one....
