Ok so in another post I had I mentioned that Dalia was sleeping in her lay bin. Well I got worried about her since she didn't look right while she was sitting in the sand cave, (sand was all over her face and it looked like she wasn't breathing too well. She was all scrunched up in a ball almost in the cave and I didn't see any eggs or movement from Dalia for almost 2 hours.
I hope I didn't just do something horrible...I had to dig her out of the cave and soak her to get all the sand off. She didn't like the bath but she seems ok now that she's back on her windowsill perch under the heat lamp. She is much more alert now than when she was in the cave. She seems a little bloated though...which makes me feel like I may have prematurely taken her out of the lay bin...I feel like crap now thinking that I may have interrupted her laying, but she wasn't showing any signs of actually laying, and the way she was positioned it would be impossible for her to poop let alone lay eggs.
My question is, when should I worry about her being potentially egg bound? She was last in to see the vet back on 3/7/2015 and that's when the vet said he saw the developing eggs on her x-ray. (btw she was at the vet for not pooping for 3 weeks which is why she had an x-ray) Other than me be a worrisome new mom, she's been eating fine. She was due for a poop yesterday but hasn't pooped yet. I've been trying to soak her everyday for hydration and the past two days for the pooping issue.
Please if anyone can offer some advice I would gladly appreciate it.
