What makes you think your female is pregnant?

Usually you will notice a sudden weight gain, possibly even see the bulges in the sides from the eggs. Sometimes can gentle feel the eggs in her stomach too. Either way, if your not sure beef up the nutrients and calcium.

Is she digging around like crazy and getting antsi? or trying to get out of the cage? Anyway...to be on the safe side...get a bin that is big enough for your female to dig in. Fill it with about 3 inches of vermiculite or perlite. Moisten it until it is complete wet but not like a puddle.

As for an incubator, whatever I wrote in the other thread is all I know, but you can usually pick up an incubator at a feed store.

i might sugjest a hubovator its cheap if you get the lessexpencive. and you will need yo put the nesting box outside of the cage.
