Hi! I am not new to owning ekkies, but am new to breeding them, I have two pairs, one pair is too young to breed so I am just focusing on bonding them together and getting them happy with eachother,
The second pair, I got from my father, they are 15(m) and 12(f) they are proven breeders and have had eggs in my care (she abandoned them sadly), the problem is, that once we got them home and into their aviary, they are breeding perfectly fine, he feeds her, mates her, they cuddle, but, so far she has laid 2 eggs on the ground! They both cracked so we couldn’t salvage them, but I just don’t understand why, she has a warm, stress free environment with food (chop, occasionally seed, the little vitamin pellets) and water, toys, perches, and a box that she has laid an egg in before, it’s her same box that she has successfully raised babies in!
Any suggestions would be very helpful! (Also the female is hand trained and the male doesn’t mind humans)
