Hello, my bearded dragon has been eating good. For the past couple of day to a few days it has been very big appetite. She eats whenever I change out the greens to fresh greens. She’s been trying to eat a lot of things that I hold too. I think she thinks it will be food because I’ll give her crickets on tweezers. She eats mustard greens, crickets, and butternut squash purée. I also give calcium and multivitamin. She laid eggs 2 weeks ago. Could her increased appetite still be from that. This is how she ate right after she laid them. But, it slowed down a bit after that. I’m wondering if she could be gravid again? I’ve been giving butternut squash because she is finicky with only plain greens. She still is. So, maybe I should give less purée? And her appetite is so big just because she likes the purée a lot. Thank you!

Yes she could be gravid again, it's O.K for her to eat a lot before laying another clutch. It sounds like you're giving her a good diet, if her poo is too runny, cut back on the greens + squash just a little. :)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
