No Eggs Yet

jgriffi Jul 08, 2004 07:12 PM

My ball appeared to ovulate the middle of May and I still don't see any eggs. She isn't active and just stays in her hide and comes out to drink and goes back. She was really swollen and I'm wondering if I took the male away too soon. She would have nothing to do with him so I took him out about 3 weeks before I saw her swell up. What could the problem be? She mated many many times with the male. Thanks for your input.

Last season I had the same problem, I thought she was gravid but aparently not. But I'm going to try again this upcoming season. And keep that male in there until I'm totally sure.

GOT HERPS?

It is possible that you'll still get eggs.
If you saw early signs of ovulation in May, it is
possible that she didn't shed until early to mid June.
Eggs usually arrive 26-34 days after her post ovulation
shed.

So...do you have a shed date on her??
Best of luck to you.
