Sammy Laying Eggs

Well Sammy has taken us all by surprise as she has laid 5 eggs!!   She is a good little mama as she sets tight on those eggs regardless of what is going on.  Of course its driving Rocket crazy.  He keeps getting down and going to see her behind the couch.  He wants to feed her and have physical contact with her so bad, but she just won't have it right now as she is protecting her eggs.  She won't let him enter the nest area, but she does come to the opening of her nest area and they do a little bit of talking and showing off for each other.  We will probably let her set on them for about another week before we remove the eggs.  Then hopefully, the two of them can get to know each other and we'll see what happens.
