Sounds like your baby has laid eggs. Not sure what you do about it, someone on here will give you advice.

definitly eggs, altho theyre likely infertile meaning they wont hatch into anything, although if she has been around males they could be fertile.
i dont know a whole bunch about wht to do if they hatch ect.

thanks for the info but does anybody know how long she can survive without eating shes not very big as she was quite skinny when i got her and should i try feeding her baby food and put her in a cage with sand as i also fear impactions i also have a 2 year old male but they have never mated as he has no interest in her

how long can a beardie live without food i have been bathing her daily to keep her hydrated but she wont eat any of her favorites and she would eat anything should i try force feeding her i have never owned a female but my male is about two and a half yrs old and he is overly healthy this one worries me i sleep with her a night on my chest and she snuggles so i know that her personality has not changed at this point pleaase anyone with any ideas please let me know

hummm it could mean one of two things, either the few eggs shes layed were dropped and she still has more in there, or she has become egg bound. You need to get her to the vet for an x-ray to confirm which it is, but this can be very serious and possible deadly if not treated in time so please do it sooner rather than later.

Hello,

Glad to hear that she did lay more eggs so, she is probably not egg bound. If she continues to act a little off, definitely get some x-rays to make sure she did not retain any.
Are you using a UVB light, & supplementing with calcium?
Since she is under 1 year, extra calcium is a must. She is not finished growing & she needs the calcium & extra vitamins right now.
Has her appetite come back yet?
