Pregnant beardie, help please

[rEdhEadgiRly]

Hi everyone

I have a pregnant female dragon, and would like more info on how best to keep her healthy at this time. I have upped her calcium and she is eating well. 1st question, how long from mating to laying eggs? Info on how to prepare a lay box would also be appreciated. Many thanks!

Just realized I couldn't exactly have a pregnant MALE beardie lol, so why specify female... Anyway...

Lol.

-Bathe her 2-3 times a week to avoid any risky of intestinal parasaites and to try to enduce a regualr bowel movement.

-Offer Gut-Loaded EVRYTHING! Roaches, Crcikets, Wax Worms, Butterworms, Superworms. I would also dust a little more frequently with Crciket Dust Containing Vitamiun D3.

-Butterworms are a GREAT source of Natural Calcium. www.MulberryFarms.com sells em'

-Waxworms & few Superworms are good within moderation.

-Dust her greens Lightly.

*Calcium is the key! Bearded Dragons often have infertile klutches or less healthy klutches when Not Enough calcium is provided to their diet during pregnancy.
*As much as she wants to eat, you can give her a fix!
