It seems that the 4 eggs in the box arnt going to hatch. I wasnt sure when the eggs were laid but Im sure its way past the due date now.

Mum is still sitting on the eggs and doesnt like me anywhere near them. Whats the best way to remove the eggs without upsetting mum?

Should I remove them one at a time or all at the same time? should I remove the nesting box?

sorry for all the questions but Im new to this.

depends if you want to start breeding again straight away when i have a clear round i remove the eggs all at the same time and i block the entrance to the nest box (but i dont remove it) for between 4 and 7 days then reopen it

thanks for the info I will do that tomorrow
