plz anwser back

Answer
Gabriela,

I'm not sure what the question is.  I'd get the nest for her, and hope for the best.  If she drops the egg and they eat the yolk, it won't hurt them, but if you can get it out, that would be better.  Most "nesting" females are nasty and will try and bite you when you put your hand in the cage.  

Good luck!
