Did you put any medium in the bottom of the boxes, I have set two up and only one is in use and has been successful for six years now, without any medium it can take over 4 years for there to be enough detritus for the female to lay eggs on, I used a layer of peat and dried leaves on the successful one

Remember though - no photos then it didn’t happen
