My breed my blizzard female about 3 weeks ago and i am not sure if she is gravid. I thought she was but i have been wrong before. I was wondering if any one could tell me if she is or not.
-Thanks

I can tell if my females are gravid if you can see the egg in them. They turn red most of the time. She definetly looks ovulating if not gravid though.

She looks like she is both ovulating and gravid to me in the pic, but I can't choose which one, because it is hard to see.

If in doubt, put a lay box in her cage anyway. It is better for her to lay, if she is gravid, instead of not lay at all.

You could re-breed her as well. That way you know she is gravid. And do make sure to have a lay box in her cage.
