Infertile egg laying

[melissapetrie]

Hi! It's been so long since I've been here I completely forgot my user/pass that I had to make a new account!

Anyways, my youngest beardie, Jess, has laid three un-fertile eggs since yesterday.
I'm making her a lay box right now, and am planning to get it in there ASAP.

My question is, she's looking a bit thin and like she needs extra nutrition but she's not eating any of the superworms I am giving her (with calc powder) and barely any of the veggies. (kale with strawberries, her fav) I'm starting to worry. Will she eat more after she has laid her eggs? I would try crickets but I'm afraid they'll just bother her cause she won't eat them.

I've looked on old threads but I couldn't find much on nutrition. Thanks!

Her appetite should improve after laying. Give her as much as she wants, and remember extra calcium. Extra baths for re-hydration would be good, too, I think.

Thanks! Is there anything I can give her to help her put on a little more weight?
