Hey guys my Amber had 28 eggs 2 days ago and it's her 3rd time this year that she has laid eggs. She is eating everything and wants bugs bugs and bugs she had about 20-30 today crickets already. I also gave her a hornworm and some small mealworms I'm looking to get some advice on how much and if I'm over doing it a little.

She generally knows her limit and won't overeat but with her just laying eggs and being depleted she doesn't know when to stop. I wanna give her all the calcium and vitamins but I don't wanna overfeed her either sorta stuck on this subject.

Pretty much all she wants but break it into 2 feedings per day. Can you post a few pics of her to show her size ?
Few pics this morning.

Her poop is runny like it was last time she had eggs and it took her a week or so to get back to being firm so I'll just keep a eye on it

Amber's a nice looking dragon and her condition looks pretty good for just laying a clutch. :) She does need to gain back some weight of course so just feed her as much as she wants for a while but break it in to 2 feedings a day if possible.

Fed her earlier this morning around 10am (little over 2 hrs ago) and she was content but I came home and soon as I checked on her she is active and ready for more.

Generally I feed both beardies morning and afternoon normally greens but with Amber as you said she does need to earn everything back 😁

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
