I would be getting her to the vets ASAP.

Update us! Did you take her to the vet yesterday? Hope she's alright.

Debby, what is going on?? Is she ok? How did it go at the vet?

Vet hasnt been in so i couldn't bring her in. I had no choice but to do the best i could to get her hydrated, which i finally did. She is back in the hole digging agian and i put a plant in there to give her a little more privacy as well. . The vet will be in tomorrow am and if she doesn't do anything tonite then i will be at the vets at 8 am. She did drop another egg today before i got her back in the bin. Part of the problem is she started by being dehydrated and then at night i had to remove her to try to get her re-hydrated again. I know i shouldn't disturb her but i felt i had no choice because I didn't think she could do it if i didn't get some liquids in her. I don't know why she stopped drinking to begin with but that certainly didn't start things off on a good foot. Like i said i did get really hydrated and i think she actually ate a couple of crickets this morning. I've been giving her bug juice and she actually pooped this am, that is when she dropped the egg too. I have a good feeling that she will be able to lay them tonite. Say a prayer for her. I'll let you know later. Thanks for asking.

Debby

Sounds like what you are doing is helping her along. She drank, she ate, she pooped, she's still digging, and she passed an egg. All those sound very hopeful. We will pray for her, that she lays her clutch tonight, and look forward to tomorrow's update.

I wish you both luck tonight. I hope all goes well, and keep us updated!

First i would like to really thank all of you who took time out and wrote back. Thank you for caring about my little girl, it really means alot.

UPDATE; She has passed all her eggs and is eating and drinking well. Yeahhhhhhhh.

Second; i think i might have been the reason for the problem to begin with and i really need your honest opinion on this one.

The first and second night when she was soooo dehydrated i removed her from her bin to try to get her rehydrated because i was really worried about her and thought that if she was that dehydrated that she would not be able to lay her eggs. But as i look back i wonder if that is why she eventually became egg-bound. Should i have left her alone, dehydrated or not, for a few days to see if she could have done it on her own? I know i worry to much about these guys sometimes and that is not always a good thing. It was kinda like a crap shoot and i chose to rehydrate her. What do you think?

I just now saw this update. Thank you for the excellent news.

There was one time that I "showered" a girl while she was in her bin. Like you, I didn't want her to have the stress of being taken in and out of the bin. I couldn't let the soil get too wet, so I layed down paper towels in there first. Then I sprayed her for a while with a pump sprayer with warm water until I saw her drink. Then continued to spray until she stopped drinking. Then I removed the towels. But that was not a seriously dehydrated female. She had been in her bin long enough that she had missed 2 cycles of the automatic misters that work in her normal enclosure.

I agree with you about the choices. We read about gals who can't lay their eggs because they've been disturbed. And we read about gals who can't lay their eggs because they're dehydrated. I'm afraid I'm a bit paranoid about the hydration bit. I always like to shower my girls before they go into the egg bin.

Was she literally eggbound- did the vet have to induce? Or did you not need the vet, in the end.
