Hi,
I started taking care of my boyfriend's female beardie, she's about 4 years old? She was rescued a couple of years ago by his friend. We took her to the vet for a checkup around Oct 12th, she got the all clear. She accidentally mated once with the male in the same tank (because his friend was told 'she' was a 'he') She laid eggs once. She's been separated since, but we are not sure if she can become infertile again?
Before the vet visit she would scratch to get out of her tank, run around, scratch everything. No digging signs though, she was eating everything in her dish and always seemed super hungry. About two weeks ago she stopped eating, she looked plumper, so we thought maybe she was going to lay. She's been lazy sitting in her tree. Hasn't pooped in over a week, even with warm bathes.
Winter hit early about 3 weeks ago, my boyfriend never really seen her go into a full brumation. I'm worried she could either go egg bound or is just ready to brumate? Unfortunately we don't have the $150 right now to get x-rays to see if she has eggs. Does anyone have advice on how keep her healthy for now?
