PLZ HELP I'm getting very worried

[saranita]

I'm going to list things very shortly and not in a proper paragraph in order to try and explain as much as possible.
Every morning for the last approx. 4 days Rylee has been FREAKING OUT running up and down the length of her cage, scratching at the glass, blackbearding all the way down to her back legs, freaking out when I try and pick her up.

Things that may have changed recently:
-she saw herself in the mirror and headbobbed and tried to attack herself a few days ago
-I got a pet cat (but she doesn't even look at Rylee and my old house had 3 cats with no problems)
-I went to my parent's house for 3 days but left her a HUGE salad and made sure it was wet to last the time.

I called the pet store and they said she may be laying eggs so I rushed out to supply her with a laybox, but all she did this morning with it was fling around the contents while running through it in her spaz. I'm starting to get really worried and don't know what to do/ what could be wrong. I'm hoping its the egg thing however I need some more reassurance please someone give me advice soon!

Went thru that with mine when she had eggs to lay...and it took a week or so after I got the laybox set up for her to finally lay them. There were days when she destroyed everything in her viv by running back and forth.

Hey there,

It does sound a bit like shes got eggs. The symptoms generally are extreme highened activity and digging.

In terms of how long it will take her to lay I cant tell you. It seems to vary from dragon to dragon. My girl took two weeks before she finally settled down and laid. During her frantic digging her appetite decreased dramatically aswell.

She may not have eggs and might just be a bit pissy that you left her for 3 days :] Time will tell.

Just remember not to panic. We're all here to help you x
