Well it's about time! congrats!

Now leave them to gether for a while and feed the heck outta that female so that you can get a double clutch from her. It is normal for her to go off food in the next couple weeks and will eat agin after she lays. usually a day or two after laying.

In about 2-3 weeks place the female in a suitable nesting container andnot just a small laybox inside the encloser.

Nesting is an important part of egglaying process so that the female does not become egg bound or retain the eggs to long.

Or you can just take a chance with a small laybox. When i used a laybox the female often layed underneath it and not in it. This made me rethink the nesting box and the importance of the female finding a suitable spot to ceate a nest.
