UPDATE - Nesting on Cuttlefish Holder
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 9:32 pm
I posted last week about my finch displaying nesting behaviours and trying to nest inside a cuttle fish holder...
Well taking the holder away didn't help her behaviour and it just made her really stressed! So I ended up putting a nest in the cage and she laid 7 eggs! Both females take turns sitting on them and sometimes they sit on the eggs together. If Tiny sits on the eggs then Meep stands guard on the side of the nest.
Is it advisable to just let them look after the eggs for a couple of weeks until they figure out that they are infertile? Or should I take them away now that Tiny has gotten them out?
