So, in all the years I have had Noodles, she has never laid eggs (even though she has been an adult the whole time).
In what I believe to be some sort of odd response to me returning to work, Noodles laid an egg. About 2 month later, another and today SHE LAID HER 3RD THIS YEAR!
She gets 12 hours sleep
cage covered at night
picky eater
Petting on head and neck only
no huts/boxes/access to shadowy spaces....
I am hoping the summer resets her hormonal clock though, or I am starting to think we may need to look at lupron or something....I haven't changed anything but after years of sexual maturity without eggs, this one has come as a but of a shock.
The only thing I haven't tried is leaving her ACTUAL egg in there--- normally I swap it for a dummy, but seeing as it is not cracked at all this time, I may leave the real thing in and see if that helps.
