A few months ago I acquired three female and one male dobrogicus from xMidnightx and within the last two weeks, they've all begun laying.
Now, one of the females has some issues. She's not the greatest swimmer, has trouble getting food in her mouth on the first go, and has some overall balance and buoyancy issues. I never witnessed the male doing the electric slide for her so I was unsure she'd lay eggs this season until now. Over the last few days, she's started laying(the other ladies had a head start) but she seems to end up smashing all of her eggs when laying folding them between leaves. I've watched her smash 5-6 of them myself and found another dozen of smashed eggs.
My brother will be in town on break from college this coming week and I've asked him to bring his fancy camera so I can take some photos of her and the job she's done scrambling some eggs. In the meantime, I was curious if anyone else has experienced anything like this with any animals?
