Eggs in wind-down Posted: 12/12/2010 by lindsaybudgen |

Please could someone advise me urgently! My ibera female is at the moment laying eggs, two and a half weeks into wind-down. I notice she has been chewing at the cuttlefish I have given her so she obviously needs the calcium. I'm really concerned about whether I should be carrying on with the wind-down or whether I should feed her to build her up again as she will have used up all her reserves in the egg-laying? And then if I do feed her should I build her up again and then start wind-down again in say, a month's time?

Hi Lindsay, I would stop wind down as laying can really take it out of them. You could try again once she has got over this if she appears healthy. Ali | |
