Nothing!

A few days ago I put her high perch back in her cage but she opted not to come out of her nest box. I took her out and checked on her yesterday and she still seems fine. She didn't go back into her box when I replaced her back in the cage but she's now basking again and hasn't returned to the nest box. I left it with my vet that I'd give her until the end of the month and we'd come in for an ultrasound.

Ever heard of a false pregnancy in chondros? If the ultrasound doesn't show anything I'll be pretty stumped as to why she hasn't gone back on food.

Interesting! I do recall you talking about this with Minnie. Do you think that she actually went through ovulation and then reabsorbed the ova? How long did she go on thinking she was pregnant (ie. basking and not eating)? I'll give Sissy a try feeding this weekend but I'm expecting another grumpy hiss and a turn away.

Still nothing from Sissy, however, she's come out of the nest box and has perched again. She's no longer basking or acting gravid. My plan: Soak her for several hours again because the shed is looking dry and completely disinfect her cage. I'm wondering if smell as well as screwed up hormones is causing her to continue to act gravid. I removed her nest box and I've palpated her yet again and I've felt nothing. I unexpectedly had to leave town this week and wasn't able to get her ultrasound booked but I'm leaning towards continuing to hold off as long as she's acting normal (other than not going back on food yet).

Would you all go ahead and ultrasound just in case or wait it out as long as she doesn't seem in distress?
