you may be right as i have not actually witnessed ovulation but they have been swelling up like crazy and i think i may have missed it. when i look back at my records they both have gone through three sheds since the first introduction of a male. i know it is supposed to be four sheds but i recorded one shed just after the seasonal temperature and photo period drop. so i was counting that as the first out of four sheds but i could be wrong. i put a nest box in each tub just to be safe but i guess if they dont lay within 30 or so after this shed then they still have one more to go right?

what do you think?
