Dear Mickey,

Thanks for the photos. Size of egg ribbons varies with the size of the animal and whether this is the first egg ribbon it has produced in a season. An animal may lay a number of egg ribbons during its breeding season, and usually they become smaller as it gradually runs out of eggs, and I presume energy.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
