Yep she is a lovebrat...hummmm well when I pull these I'll have 9
she has laid 10 but the first one broke and she ate it...;)
KJ> How long do you leave the eggs before you take them away from her? If
KJ> you leave them for a month or longer, she should get bored and abandon
KJ> them on her own. Allowing her to sit on them for the entire natural
KJ> incubation period may well cause her hormones to "cycle" through the
KJ> egg-laying stage, and get her back to normal (for a while, anyway).
I let her have them for 21 days...then pull them...I put duds in
the last time and it took her all of two minutes to throw them
out of her little box...;) I'm getting another lovebrat next
week and it will be in quarantine for a month in my
bedroom...then will start to introduce them to each other...;)
Hopefully she will accept him...and this will end the dud
eggs...she is so precious sitting on her little kids...and she
talks to them...;) She hasn't gotten bored yet...I think she
is a little confused...;) I didn't drop her on her head...;)
