[QUOTE="bayoupig5, post: 1991186, member: 27248"] Littlefoot is 10. This year she has already laid 3 clutches of eggs. Clutches are laid over the course of three or four days with anywhere from 1 to 8 being laid per day. Clutch size is around 15 to 20. My concern started with her weight. She is very skinny, prominent hip bones,prominent tail bones,no fat pads. As she is constantly in egg production she eats very little on her own. I have been syringe feeding daily. She is given Repashy Beardie Buffet, Veggie Burger,Pumpkin Pie, and homemade slurries of supers,crickets, dubias, collard, alfalfa, squash, etc. She is given 9 to 21 mls per day, heavily dusted with Zoo Med Calcium powder (with and with out D3). Repashy calcium plus is used about once per week. Despite the feedings, she loses about 5 grams of body weight that at this point does not come back. Total loss is about 15 grams since February. Two nights ago she finished laying another clutch. This time, every time she passed an egg watery poop followed. I continued to provide slurries. After she used her dig box, she was exhausted,this was around 9 pm. The next day, she was very lethargic, with flattened eyebrows, no Blackbeard. I gave her 16 MLS of slurry, 12 MLS of water, and a bath, but her eyebrows remained flattened. I am concerned, not sure what more I can do. Looking for advice. Reptile vet cannot see her until the end of the week, but I doubt there would-be anything that could be done. Worried I am going to lose her to egg laying. It is zapping everything out of her.
