Lola's First Eggs

[DracoLord510]

Not sure if this should be in health or breeding or whatnot but here goes. Lola is a 2 year old beardie and she just laid her first clutch of dummy eggs - she has never been bred and I understand this is normal. However, since laying, she has lost a bit of weight and is not eating like she used to. She catches the odd cricket here and there and refuses most of the worms we offer. She does nibble at her veggies. I'm wondering what things I can do to make sure Lola pulls through, because she means the world to me. She was a birthday present from my wife and we raised her from a hatchling to full size.

Lola's setup:
Temperature: 105* at basking spot, 80-85* at far end of tank
50G Breeder tank
PowerSun UVB/UVA light
Sand/Topsoil Mix for substrate
She is fed crickets dusted with Fluker's calcium with D3 3-4 times weekly as well as a mix of various greens (Romaine, spinach, collard greens) with green pepper, tomato, onion, cauliflower, and other veggies twice a week

How long ago did she lay ? Be sure to hydrate her well, if she's dehydrated it can affect her appetite.

Just wanted to offer a quick update on Lola. She seems to be doing better, particularly in being more active, however she still does not have much of an appetite. I feed her worms daily (waxworms and giant mealworms, our breeder told us superworms might be a bit too hard) and she eats anywhere from 5-12. Still doesn't have much interest in her crickets. We are giving her extra water and we added just a bit of Pedialyte to her water bottle. Her fat pads still look a bit sunken but otherwise she seems mostly happy and healthy. I'm hoping her appetite picks up soon.

So sorry to hear Lola passed. My Mobil device wouldn't let me post on that particular thread. I hope time has helped to heal your hearts & your thoughts & memories of her make you smile. Best wishes!
