Right on time, the second egg was laid sometime overnight. It was visible early this morning. Lizzie continues to wait before incubating eggs.
During this time food deliveries by Mango are crucial, as the eggs are formed by what Lizzie currently eats. Proteins help build egg white (albumen), lipids (fats) build yolk (energy reserves) and calcium forms the shell! If food is limited then eggs may be smaller or clutches may be reduced.
