Well this one has me stumped. I've just never seen one of our females do this sort of thing before so I figured I'd just ask.

Tonight was feeding night. One of our mature females, Kyna, who has never bred though we did try her last year, but no lockups occurred, has seemed to have built some sort of nest. Dead center of her large tub...not on the cool nor warm side. She normally uses her hides, she has aspen bedding. What she's done is build up her bedding all in the middle then sort of created a crater where she's currently laying in a perfect circle (not a tight coil). She didn't even look at her dinner tonight which is really odd for her. She's not been put with a male yet this year as we were going to start pairing up in a couple of weeks.

Is this some sort of breeding behaviour that some females do? Is Kyna trying to tell me to get her a man? LOL I wish I could post pics but we are still without a camera. I didn't get her out to palpitate her since I wanted to post this first and get some idea of what Kyna's up to.
