Hey guys im new to this forum so any help would be great.
Now i cannot tell whats going on with my female beardie? I dont know if she is just gettin rdy for another clutch so she is refusing food or she has some retained eggs? About 18 days ago she laid a clutch of ten huge fertile eggs
Then the next day i had to leave for two weeks. When i returned and went to feed them there was a little dried up yellow egg in her cage and she was not interested in food. So i put her in a bath and sure enough another little egg not as big as the ones she previously laid so i dont think it was retained from that clutch or it would have been really big! So i put her in the lay box to see what she would do and she had no intentions on digging or laying anything. I tried feeding her some romaine and collard greens today mixed with some berries and bell peppers. And she left her basking spot and was on the ground close to the bowl and there was some greens and the ground but i didnt look like she ate much or anything at all? Is this just typical in prego females? She should be eating like a horse? Here are sme details on her husbandry
Tank- 40breeder
hotspot-110
coolside-85
no heat rocks,
fresh water
lots of UV
Cage carpet no sand!
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks guys
