Digging

KJN Aug 31, 2007 04:55 PM

I introduced my male and female a few weeks ago and all is going really well. Now she is digging constantly and will not stop. Isn't it too early for brumation and way too late for eggs? Any ideas why shes going nuts on the floor of her cage? thanks

In a nutshell, No and No.

If she didn't have eggs earlier in the year it is possible that being around the male could cause them to develop.

2 out of 3 of my adults are brumating. Haven't seen them for almost 2 weeks.

Is she eating? Does she look gravid? Is she heavier than normal?

I would prepare a nesting box for her. Even if she is digging just for the heck of it, it won't hurt to put her into a nesting box.
