Ours seem very happy and are starting to like our company. Which is nice. Chased them out of the front room once or twice too.

They like a bit of porridge we have found and will literally fight over lychees.

All are fine though and we check each day for eggs but none yet.

As a bench mark when could we expect them to start. 20, 25 , 30 weeks?

around 22 to 24 weeks roughly, but unless you are adding additional lighting, the shorter days may well delay laying until spring Crying or Very sad
