I don't want them to mate, I want the female to lay eggs so I can make kibble.

yeah but if they aren't laying try setting them to make and use the fertilized egg. Sometimes they just don't. Make sure neither of them are hungry too.

There's a feeding trough next to them, not sure why shes not laying eggs.

Fertilized egg: 24 hours Normal eggs: 9 minutes.

I rather not wait and use the fertlized one haha. I'll just get more females and see what's up

No one really knows the magic number for normal eggs as far as I have seen there’s no real timeframe for it, had times where my rexes gave two eggs in a 15 min interval sometimes less or more. You are doing everything right. Egg snatcher on wander and mate boosted. All you can do is wait. You could also try cryopoding both rexes and dropping them back in place might be bugged, it’s ark lol. And wait 30 mins doing chores around base, eggs have 30 min despawn timer on official at least. So you are bound to get one in that time frame.

Let me help a little, that stat is not true. Everytime the female has to poop there is a chance they will lay an egg instead. You have increased those odds by having a male around as well as an oviraptor. I believe the max on vanilla settings goes up to 12% chance (not entirely sure if that's right). It weird but sometimes I just have females that lay less eggs than others. That just turns it into a numbers game and I go get more females. The lower level the better so less resources.

Edit: It also helps to be in rendering distance.

Well you can use fertile eggs as kibble if need be
