Beardie just laid unfertilized eggs- really weak?

[FreakedOutMama]

Hey guys! So a few days ago one of my 1 1/2 year old beardies laid a clutch of 27 (!!!) unfertilized eggs. Since then she has been active, but really weak in her limbs. She is eating a bunch, as expected after laying. But what worries me is that her limbs feel very stiff? If I put her hand on my finger and stretch my finger, and her arm out her joints feel "crunchy"? It is very hard to describe and I haven't run into this issue at all before- she's the first one to lay. I give her greens, vitamins and calcium daily and Dubias every other day. What in the world could this be? Could it be the dreaded MBD? Her spine looks fine and her eyes are alert.

I'm not an expert by any means, but from what I've read they need a ton of extra calcium after they lay (liquid calcium, regular calcium powder on feedings).

I'm not sure if this applies to just malnourished beardies, but butterworms I think helps out with weak dragons

They do need lots of calcium, but you also need to be sure that the uvb bulb is giving optimal output for her to assimilate the calcium. You can also take her out in the sun for extra uvb. Her diet is fine....be sure to offer extra hydration since they lose a lot when laying eggs.

Can you post pics of her + her set up ? Here's how:

Thank you for showing me! I will upload pictures of her set up tomorrow morning when she wakes. Thank you both for your advice. She is still really weak, but her eyes are extremely alert and she is eating.
