Is she gravid yet???

jcmonitor Feb 11, 2004 12:54 PM

Hello everyone,
A week or so ago I posted a pict that I took from January of the introduction of my male and female boscs. This picture was taken this morning about 7 am. It has been about 2.5 weeks since I took the male out and they were together since early January.

Now I never got to see them copulate other than the initial pictures I got of the head jiggles and vent nuzzling.
But I guess I would like an opinion as she has stopped eating the last few days and has dug a nice sized nest in her box. She shouldn't be ready for another week or so to lay, but do you think she is gravid???
Opinions welcomed please keep in mind though she is not obese she has not eaten in some five days.

Could be. If she lays eggs, then she is for sure. Just be prepared. It's nice to see someone breeding savs.
