Well im going to have to make a make shift one i think. As we sold our other so only have one now and it is cooking ackie eggs.
How long is it from mating till they lay eggs? As i have forgotten Razz

Quasimodo did you find that she stopped feeding until about 2 weeks before laying? Razz

Because mine did.
Thanks johonny.
Thanks all

Yes they do stop feeding, which with female Hoggies is a good sign that she is indeed gravid. Cannot remember how long Embarassed

but I always just wait for the pre-lay shed and then start to look for eggs. Usually 7 - 10 days after shed, but I look every day Rolling Eyes

All the best.
