Females that are old enough to breed often go through the process of developing the egg follicles and pass unfertilized eggs. These are usually small and yellow or orangish in color. These can be simply removed and thrown away. This simply means that her body is in good shape and she is old enough and healthy enough to breed.

Pairs kept together can and will breed even if you didn’t do anything special to make them do so. Although breeders cycle their animals to try to induce breeding, any time you have a male and a female together, there is a good chance that you are going to get results from that. If you absolutely do not want them to breed, you need to keep them in separate cages.
