[Hercules19]

so its been crazy with both of my dragons lately...

hercy has laid about a billion eggs : she has used all the fat she had in her body, its so bad that the little bulgies behind her eyes that are usually poofy and full, are now beginning  to get concave!!

will alittle hard boiled or cooked egg work? not to much just alittle...

ratchet : his mouth has just gotten so dry there is water and i soak him...its crazy ..but at least he eats his veggies. where are herc doesnt like veggies.

so ...what do i do? i do proper veggies, ive bought roaches, ive had poo checked, i feed them 2 times a day soak them in warm water very other day, my temps are good 105 hot 75 cold. middle is around 84...they dont live together....i dust food...

Usually with infertile clutches, what you see as fat pads, is mostly loss of fluid content.  Before she can begin to regain weight, she needs to restore her fluid level.  We do this by offering several different choices of water on multiple occasions thru the day.
Once she's hydrated, she can have the boiled egg white, not the yolk.
I'd pick her up a variety of feeders, and give her 2 feedings of them each day until she begins to gain.  Unfortunately, infertiles take alot more from the body than fertiles do.

i see... she popped out 2 lastnight, and then another 3 this morning...not counting the one during the day...and the 2 that night before....

is there any way to stop this?

oh and....she eats them?..shes only eaten two that i know of ( i just wasnt fast enough, and she hissed at me ) ...

[ladyknite]

eats them.................uh huh.  Not a common occurance at all, and it's thought with high probability that she's trying to level out her calcium.  Logically that could mean that she feels herself going into a deficiency and she's trying to replace it.  Other than that, I have no explaination.  I recommend having her calcium level checked and balanced, as well as her vitamin.  It's the same blood test.

If they're low, leveling them out could stop this on and off process.  Maintaining that level should keep her safe thru the rest.  But it's something only time will tell.

[Hercules19]

yea she was extremely sneaky about it... 


i dust her food, i have the vitamin and calcium drops the vet gave me this is just crazy

i have/bought roaches, super worms, meal worms, wax worms and crickets..
and i have escarole and kale...
some tomatos, carrots,and raspberries...

i feel like we should be good?

[ladyknite]

Drop the kale from her diet.  With the quantity of egg development, it could be binding the properties.

Vitamin and calcium drops?  What brand is that?

[Hercules19]

the drops are separate. the calcium is something calcium glubonate? or something..i dont have it with me..

and then the vitamin is the the repashy stuff. he suggested it

[ladyknite]

both are good stuff.  Make sure she gets the calcium daily for the length of time this is going on.
