pregnant beardie

[TheRedDragonAkaRed]

She is barley eating......and all she will eat is horned worms.

she mated on the 20th......and the next day at ALOT.....3 superworms 1 horned 6 or 7 crickets....she never eats much since i got her.

the next day only 1 horned worm....the 2 horns because she was eating them and i would give her one morein the afternoon becaus i knew she wouldnt eat anything else...

today hasnt touch 2 supers 2 crickets (legless)...and 1 hornedworm


i think if i tried she would eat the horned worm...

is this enough for her??

how many horns should i feed her in a day??

i dont have uvb but she has been out side in the last couple days.....hopfully it gets worm today.

Well, if you are sure she is gravid, she needs lots of protein, greens and extra calcium. It's also very important that she have a good UVB light because otherwise she won't be able to process the calcium efficiently which could cause the eggs to not develop correctly and for her health to decline. Do you have a Repti-Sun 10.0 fluorescent on order?

 

[TheRedDragonAkaRed]

no i spent 30 on 1 floresent bulb then 40 and a holder.....30 for the coil....all are now if a fare away place from my beardies (coboard)....i dont have enough money for a light....my next pay iam buyiing an incubator

What was the fluorescent that you had before? You still have the holder, right? You could use that and put the Repti-Sun 10.0 in it. You can get one very cheaply here: http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-bulb.html It would help the babies develop better and also help your female.
