Beardie laying too many eggs?????

[heyitsgina]

hey guys, just a question for y'all
my beardie has laid two clutches of infertile eggs, and she looks and is acting like she's gearing up for another clutch... i read before that beardies that haven't been bred should only have one clutch of eggs.. is this something i should be worried about? is there anything i can do for her?
she is about 3 years old, and her first clutch there were 14 eggs, and her second there were about 19 or 20...
she is digging like crazy right now, but she won't dig in the laybox i have made for her. she's also really aggressive, and this is exactly what happened with the other clutches...
thanks for your help in advance!

Hello,

That is quite a few eggs, I agree! However, they are notorious for laying a lot of infertile eggs. Usually they lay anywhere from 1-3 clutches, a few weeks to a month apart.
Are you giving extra calcium right now to ensure her bones will stay strong?
Keep a close eye on her fat pads, to be sure she stays hydrated, poor girl.
Other than keeping her hydrated & being sure she eats there isn't much else you can do. I do
think that she will be fine though.
