Shouldn't be. Could be hormones and really a female could also be bloat.

So I took him out to see what was in his mouth and yes I found about 15 eggs and 6 little pieces of gravel. He is 100 percent a male but I'm unsure why he had the eggs like he was tumbling them. Unless he tried eating them and took up too much gravel that he couldn't swallow them? I have no idea.

How long have you had him? Where did you get him from?
