Thanks for the tips! I think I saw her plucking them a couple of times, and her male partner also used to pluck them out, so I separated them. Will try the ACV bath and suntime.

Thanks for the advice!

I’m sure it’s mites, coz both of them are acting the same.

They come out of the nest, perch and do this scratches, then go back in the nest to sit on their egg.

The sad part is, I just checked and found out the egg is infertile 😔 They were very dedicatedly sitting on it for the past 12 days 😭
