    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Thank you!! I did just that with the cardboard box. Wasn’t much digging yesterday and I didn’t find any eggs. I put her back in just a few minutes ago, now with that cardboard box cave and a little hole I made by it as well as the other hole she made herself. Put a blanket over the open area...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    She looks like she might just be taking a nap but I’m not positive, she is backed into the hole she’s made. It’s not that deep, though, I mean it’s like a big hole, but not very tunnel or cave like. More just like a big dip that she’s made. EDIT: think I misunderstood the cardboard box idea...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    I was just about to go search, and she’s currently curled up right in the hole she’s made, so hopefully that means something. I took a pic quickly but apparently, too quickly so uh.. oops LOL. I did just 15 or 20 mins ago move the laybox to the living room to try to give her somewhat more peace...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    I don’t think so, but I will check to see if I can find any! She did poop again in there, she seems to poop every day right around 10:30-11am 😅😂 She has been doing pretty much the same as yesterday, occasionally digging for a minute here and there, but then she just sits there or tries to crawl out.

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    good morning my friends— After giving Martha some time to warm up, I put her back in the laybox. So far she’s just kinda been sitting there and occasionally trying to escape, as she does lol. Tried to give her a big dubia roach.. poor thing tried two times to grab it and failed. I wonder...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Well, I put her back in the laybox over an hour or so ago (once I noticed she was starting to go crazy in her tank) but she really just sat in there again and might have taken a short nap too? Anywys, I have to leave for a few hours and won’t be back til late tonight. So I took her out, gave...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    So far she hasn’t really done much. She has done a few minutes of minor digging here and there but overall has either just been sitting there or actively trying to crawl out of the bin. Should I put her back in her tank to warm up for a bit and try again a little later?

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    She’s very off and on rn! She will dig for a few minutes, then want out again, then dig again, etc. she was just digging and now she’s just staring out at the open corner of the bin with her little dirt covered face 😅😂

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Goodmorning all! Just got Martha back in her laybox a few mins ago. Starting her initial “let me outta here” fit of trying to climb out. Hopefully she gets back to digging soon. Took her about an hour yesterday to finally give in

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Thank you for checking!! I put her back in a while ago, she didn’t dig anymore but instead decided to take a nap 😂 So after a while I put her back in her tank. Now she’s just basking, her lights are set to turn off around 8:40 so there’s about another hour she’ll be awake I’m guessing. She...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Okay that is good to hear!! Just get nervous about it getting in her nose or something. She was in there for a couple of hours and did a lot of digging, but no eggs as of now. She stopped digging and wanted out, so I got her back in her tank and she’s basking. Should I put her back in the lay...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    She is getting SO dirty. How do you safely clean off all the dirt/sand from their faces? To make sure none is in their eyes/nose/etc.?

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    My friend who rescued her from a dumpster took her to the vet before I adopted her, and they told her she had MBD and was underweight (though not terribly). I am taking her to another specifically exotic ver here next week though. She gets around pretty well and climbs well for missing 4 toes...

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    Aaaand she’s back to digging. Guess I should just leave her be for a few hours? *also note the weird white bit on her back, that’s from calcium powder that fell off a roach that was trying to escape and crawled over her 😅

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    She dug for a while, then moved away a bit from the hole she made. Now she’s just chilling out and looks like she might take a nap ? Should I just leave her in there for a while? What exactly is the process? Lol

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    After an hour or so of trying to escape and climb her way out of the lay box, she is FINALLY digging! Though… she’s chosen to dig on the shallower end 🤦‍♀️🤣 oh Martha. She runs on 2 brain cells I swear LOL. We will see what happens I guess!!!!

    Gravid, MBD and underweight??

    added a bunch of sand, I’ll try putting her in it again today. I think I mentioned I managed to sneak a few tiny veggies in her mouth when she was gaping the other day. I think Sunday, she ate one big dubia roach that I coated in calcium and Herptivite. Don’t think she ate anything yesterday...
