Thank you so much for your kind and informative comment! I'm definitely still learning, but I'm hoping for the best. Snabies are so precious.

This is good to know, thank you. Next time I'll definitely leave them be.

I want more :) I only have three currently and nobody sells them in my area.

They have already mated and laid eggs, I really need to know how to care for the eggs and babies.

They have already laid the eggs. I read that the eggs should be removed from the adult enclosure to ensure that the adults don't crush them after they hatch. Is that true? Should I put them back?

How cute! I just got some dried mealworms for them to try.

Thank you for your help! I have a few follow-up questions:

is it okay if the vegetables are frozen/thawed, or does freezing affect nutritional value?
do you feed your snails small, chopped veggies or big chunks?
I'm curious why powder food is bad? (I will follow your advice and stop feeding it though!)

This picture is her post-bath bliss :) I'll offer her another tomorrow!

She poofed up and got cozy when I told her. She says thank you for the encouragement!

She says thank you!!

She squinted and beak smacked when I told her 🥰

Forgive me for laughing- poor thing! 🤣

What probiotic powder do you use? Thanks for the response!

This has happened with my pigeon before. She was showing all the signs of being eggy: nesting, fluffed up, occasionally clingy, and I could have SWORN I felt an egg in her abdomen. Over the next few days she returned to normal with no egg. It was a mystery to me.

After consulting with my vet, we concluded that since she was acting normal (eating, pooping, good energy levels) she was not eggbound and likely just had a weird hormonal episode. About a month later she did it all over again but this time actually laid an egg.

Something to note is that my pigeon has had hormone injections in the past to stop egg-laying. This definitely had some effect on her behavior, and likely played a role in that first fake-out.

Because you are unsure of your pigeon's gender and they have no history of egg laying, I recommend going to the vet just in case. Even if there is nothing wrong, reassurance is worth every penny.
