my beardie cant poo properly

[zoe613]

my beardie layed about 23 eggs last week.
in the last 2 days she has pooped twice and both times there was another egg (all look healthy!)
but now it seems like she is struggling to poo. She is getting plenty of food and acts normal, happy as a daisy! but is it normal for her to struggle to poo?

Have you tried giving her some warm baths? That might help her poop more easily.

I would be worried about her being egg bound if she is really struggling. Can you get her to a vet?

Hello,

I agree. If she seems to be struggling to go potty, then she is either egg bound, or hypocalcemic, or both.
Have you contacted a vet yet to get her in for a check up? I wouldn't wait too long because if she is egg bound, they can crash very quickly.
Are you using a UVB light, & if so, what type & brand do you use? A fluorescent tube bulb, a compact/coil bulb or a mercury vapor bulb?
How often do you give her calcium right now since she has laid eggs recently?
