But she worries me because she is not quite 2 years old and is rather petite. She looks somewhat distressed at times and sits with her eyes closed a lot. But she eats a lot, is rapidly getting bigger and has no trouble moving when she wants to. She also sleeps more than usual, but I imagine that is normal. I was out of town but this is the timing: 2 weeks ago Ric noticed she had gotten her red overnight and he brought her here and put her in with Otis. One week ago I saw Otis mate with her. (Poor Otis tried to get Saige first, but she wasn't having any part of it; she has not turned gravid yet.) I have never seen them mate before, but it didn't last very long. I am sure it could have happened other times too, when I didn't see it. I just hope they are going to be fertile! Based on these times, when should I expect eggs?
