Hi Sarah,

Again, not necessarily!.  A lot of females lay infertile eggs, I think of females 
carrying infertile eggs, most will choose to lay them, only a few will decide to 
reabsorb them (I have no idea how they decide whether to lay or reabsorb).

Also, if you have a male and female together its likely that they will have mated.  If 
you wanted to be sure, you could take the male out for a couple of weeks then 
re-introduce him, they will most likely mate when re-introduced... but I'm 99% sure 
they'll already have mated.

Best wishes,
Pauline

Pauline,

So if she does have a clutch in her pouch and the male doesn't mate with her 
in a few days then, she could reabsorb her eggs?  She might just have 
infertile eggs then and the male hasn't mated with her.  I just a worried little mommy.


Sincerely,
Sarah
