Female veiled hasnt poop!!!

[Irishboy85]

My cham laid eggs a week ago... As of what I can see she has not pooped yet since!!! She hangs on her perch branch all day don't see her move unless I mist her then she moves.... I feed her in the morning every other day about 10 crickets... She will walk around looking for crickets but once she eats she just sits on her perch!!

Have you tried giving her things with not so hard to digest exoskeletons like wax worms or phoenix worms?

 

[Irishboy85]

No all I have is crickets and superworms...i will get some and see if it helps.... She was pooping fine before she had her eggs...

You can try a nice long warm shower and make sure she can access a dripper going as much as possible and it will out all work out in the end!

 

[Irishboy85]

OK she definately has her dripping going constantly drips about ever 2-3 secs

Gutload ur cricket with lots green vegetables,offer silkworm and hornworm,n be sure look thru the whole cage inside for any poop hiding,if she is drinking n eating,then she must has urate n poop somewhere inside that cage.

Please post a recent photo of her.
Did she bury the eggs? Fill in the hole and tamp it down?

You haven't been dusting with a phosphorous - free calcium powder at most feedings then??
How many eggs did she lay?

 

[Irishboy85]

I will double check tomorrow ...but it's all new stuff so I'm pretty sure there's no poop Shes sleeping now

She laid her eggs a week ago...she had 50 eggs and yes she buried and covered them!! I was Dustibg with calcium with d3 every couple feedings... I have since learned that's too much and stopped and got calcium without d3 and vitamins for her

This is a recent photo from earlier today

My Cham did this after she laid eggs too. I fed her wax worms butter worms and horn worms after and put a drop of EVOO on a butter worm the next day she had a massive blow out. I think from having eggs and not really eating they get backed up and dehydrated.

did she break ribs after laying?

 

[Irishboy85]

I'm not too sure... I'm a new owner and she's my first... It was the first time she laid... I was told that she looks to have MBD

 

[kinyonga]

Can you post a couple more recent photos. That one is too far away. I need to see her closer.

 

[Irishboy85]

I don't have any better photos now she's sleeping... The only ones I have she's puffed up... She does not like photos taken!!

 

[Irishboy85]

This was from the day she laid..right after

 

[kinyonga]

Thanks...that helped.
She does have MBD....because you didn't use a phosphorous - free calcium powder at most feedings, has MBD and because she just laid eggs, she may not have enough calcium in her system to make the digestive system muscles work well. I'm not a vet so this is just my best guess.

 

[JGuinan007]

you mean calcium with out D3?

 

[alphakenc]

I was Dustibg with calcium with d3 every couple feedings... I have since learned that's too much and stopped and got calcium without d3 and vitamins for her

Thats a lot of D3 in her system,Im glad you switch it.
