Today we found 3 more eggs on the top of the sand in our chams cage. Poor thing, no wonder she has been miserable! That is a total of 27 eggs. Well she still won't eat. She is well watered, but will not eat anything. Now this cham is a little different then most, she gets hand fed basically, she refuses to eat from a cup, so we take her out everyday and she walks along the critter keeper that we place her meals in. Usually we take a fish net (yes an actual fish net for catching fish, the small one) and lay that across the top, because our princess loves to hang upside down to eat. Well it's been like 13 days and she is not interested at all.

What do we do? Anyone else have this problem? We are really freakin out here. Please help.
 
She should have been hungry and eating soon after she laid the eggs. Its also not normal to keep laying eggs after she has laid the clutch and filled in the hole. It might be a good idea to take her to the vets.
 
It sounds like she has more eggs in her. If they some on the top normally it is because there are a few more in her. You should probably get her to a vet because death from being egg-bound is fairly common. Feel her stomach to see if possibly there are more eggs in there, but from what you described I would be willing to bet she isn't done. Keep her in the egg laying bin and get her to a vet.
