Have you seen them mate? How old/big are they? Are they housed together permanantly or were they only placed together for breeding purposes?

If your male and female were only together only for breeding and you think the female may be gravid you should take him out now and set her up with a nest box, she will use it when she is ready and it is definately better to have it in there too soon rather than too late.

If you house the male and female together permanantly i would remove the male anyway duringthe laying process so he doesn't harrass the female.

Continue feeding your female, give her a laying box. When she is ready to lay she should stop eating and become either quite restless, or content on staying in her laying box.
