Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2018 9:20 am First Time Nesting, Need Advice Please
Hi all, my female RES seems to be displaying all the symptoms of being gravid - restlessness, not eating, trying to climb out of her tank. I tried to confirm she has eggs, but I have to admit I'm a novice and have no idea if I'm feeling eggs or not. I built a nesting box (rubbermaid container and topsoil) and have tried keeping her in there several hours per day, but instead of digging all she does is try to climb the sides to escape, and each time ends up on her back. I could really use some advice. Worried she will get sick if she can't lay. Thanks for your time!
