For my adult, I usually give a light even coat of calcium to every bug meal. Bugs are only offered once or twice a week though. Primary diet is veges - especially squash like I mentioned earlier. You can offer dark green leaves like collards or turnip greens which are naturally rich in calcium and vitamins. In this case it may be a good idea to add a bit of extra calcium. Perhaps look into a liquid calcium supplement at least for a little while. Have you had any luck with squash? That and dripping water on her nose to lick up are the best things I can think of to offer hydration.

How is your girl doing? You are thinking she is getting ready to lay another clutch then
soon?
Adding some extra calcium would be a good idea. You could even add a few drops of
liquid minerals a couple of times per week in case her system needs a boost for egg laying.
Let us know how she is doing.

So sorry that I missed your last update!
Are you giving the Flukers liquid calcium? Does the label specify the strength of the solution
or the PPM or percentage? I can try to dose, if the label states some type of strength of the
solution.
So total eggs are up to 10 now? I do think that it is a good sign her beard is not dark. If she
still has any calcium issues, that could potentially be the culprit. Many times, once they have
developed metabolic bone disease, they will always have some type of issue. Her abdominal
muscles might be weaker than they need to be in order to promote healthy muscular contraction
for labor.
Do you have a UVB light you could place over her laybox for a portion of time so that she does
receive some while she is in there? Or, at least a basking light so she is warm enough. I am
sure it is frustrating, since she has been able to lay in the past. If she is still eating a little bit
she just may not have a full clutch right now. How is her weight?

That's great Liz laid a few more eggs, how is she doing? She may just slow down on egg
laying, it does happen to some of them. She may have a few eggs left inside but hopefully
she wont have anymore trouble!
At least she did eat so it does seem like she is feeling pretty good right now. How does her
weight look?
Keep us posted on her.
