Mari is only 5 months old, so I still have like a year until her ovaries start firing up, but I was wondering if when she starts ovulating if I should fill a shallow storage bin with play sand (never calcisand) and place it in her viv but monitor her so I can remove it as soon as possible, or if I should place a bunch of paper towels in crumpled up balls into her viv when she’s gravid.
Also, since I own a cockatiel and freak out about the possibility of egg-binding, are there any known ways of preventing ovulation So I don’t have to worry about the eggs then getting stuck? Beardies lay a lot of eggs at once, so I’d imagine eggbinding is extremely common in such species since they need a lot of calcium to make the eggshells. Oh yeah, and one more thing - how do I identify eggbinding in a bearded dragon? (Don’t want to mistake it for impaction and give her baby food when I should actually be rushing her to the reptile vet for emergency surgery.)
