Question
hi!
my female layed eggs with a mate and a couple hatched. since then, shes been having HUGE droppings. why?

Answer
Hey Katelyn, thanks for posting!
Most likely she has huge droppings because she's spending all/most of her time in the nesting box.  She'll hold her droppings until she can't wait any longer, then she'll leave the nesting box, and release a huge dropping. Once she stop spending so much time in the nesting box, the droppings should go back to normal.
