Hi! Three of my female corns are bred and has started to lay some of their eggs. My first female butter laid a nice clutch with 25 eggs, maybe 2-3 slugs. My ghost hasn't started yet, i hope she will make it, she is to smal to breed even though she is 4 years of age, because she has been bred 2002 (at almost 2 years of age), 2003, and now 2004 and she havn't had the chance to regain enough strengh. Anyway, my second butter female is bred with the same male as my first butter female, they all live together is the same cage. She wont lay all her clucth at one time! It's now 3 days since she started, she has laid 2-3 eggs every day, with only one possible fertile egg every time. I tried to put in more nest places with shapgnum moss, but she wont go there. I have removed the male from the cage since he was steeling the second females nest place from the begining.
Why doesn't she lay all the eggs att one time, and why does she chose not to lay them in one of the three nesting sites I've made just because she would have more freedom to chose nesting place. Is this because the male thats been breeding to them bred the first female, and the second female right after? The second female could have got infertile sperm if the male bred both females within the same day, right?
//Thankful for reply!!
