Hi all.

Yesterday I saw my female grandis running around the cage with one of her (apparently) newlaid eggs in her mouth. Before I could do anything, she had cracked it, and ate the contents.

I don't thing she's done it before, as I have a lot of hatchlings from this summer running around in their little cages But offcourse - there has been a LONG time since I've gotten eggs from her. Just thought she might have stopped for this year.

She's a couple of years old now - some friends bought her at the fair in Hamm in 2002. From Dr.Ingo. Possibly the same Ingo that's on this forum?

Anyway - can anyone enlighten me? I wanna understand why this happened.
