Lola's First Eggs

Status
Not open for further replies.
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

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!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
