Still hasn't laid?
Hey all. My first clutch is incoming and I need some advice.
The girl I've got has always been a great feeder and started this process earlier this year at 1700-1800g. I've read any guides I could find with breeding, she was pretty much like clockwork for all of it...
...until the actual laying needed to happen. Day 25 came and went. So did day 30. Now, today is the beginning of day 40 after her prelay shed, and still no eggs, and I've never found her trying. She seemed really antsy around the 25 mark, then settled in and hugs the heat, but nothing.
A very careful shot of day 32, proof there's eggs in there alright:

So. Do I take her into the vet, or keep waiting? If I wait, how much longer until it's really gone on too long and she needs intervention?
The cage has been covered the whole time and I tried to add a nesting box, but she just shoved it aside. Is there anything else I can do to encourage her?
