Thanks for replying, She's laid about 7 eggs so far, now she's fallen asleep at the back of the enclosure. I think she might have tried to laid more but seems to have fallen asleep. She only started trying to lay about 2 hours ago. Should I be concerned yet?I never saw this last night since it was posted late. How is she doing ? Definitely feed a female pretty much all the healthy insects they want after laying a large clutch like she did the last time she had the 24 eggs, she's a bit underweight . If she is still struggling now she might benefit from a shot of Oxytocin to induce laying.
She's definitely just asleep- it's 10pm now she started trying to lay around the time her lights are supposed to turn off, but I extended the time they are on before deciding to let her be and turning the day lights off. She doesn't look distressed or anything, the bath and the water she drank seemed to help. This seemed to happen so quickly I'm really in shock. I noticed she was looking a little thinner today and she weighed 397 grams before the eggs.I can't say for sure, if you are sure she's just sleeping then let her sleep but if she gets a black beard then it's time to get her to the vet. Also the vet if she wakes up and can't lay anymore but keeps trying, in both scenarios a shot of Oxytocin would probably be necessary.
Yeah she looks OK, she let out egg number 8 after I moved her, it looked well formed. I'll try to keep an eye on her. How many eggs should I expect before I can be at ease ?Oh I see you're in Australia , I was thinking U.S. time. It's probably O.K to let her sleep but it's really up to you. Her beard isn't black so that's a positive thing.
I don't unfortunately, if I go I'll need to mask up and just ensure I'm a safe distance. If it's the safest bet to take her now then I'll do so!Hmmmm, that's odd. BTW, I'm sorry you have Covid and that complicates things as far as getting to the vet. If you're really sick do you have anyone that could take her to the vet ? I don't know if it might be good for her to get the shot now since she's popping them out almost in her sleep.
