Hi!

Thanks for reading & helping. She has been bred since 2 months and doesn't look like she have eggs, however she might. She has stopped eating so I moved her to another cage. She restarted drinking, however she doesn't touch any food. She started digging but she is weak.

I think she might need a little boost for digging (food). Since she drinks I though I could put some supplements in her water. Any clever idea how to supplement water (not just vitamins & mineral but also substance)

Thanks

If you feel she is weak, when you put in her laying bin, dig a hole for her so she does not have to work to dig. Then give her privatacy for her digging and laying. Good luck and let us know how she is doing.

Thanks! I've been trying that yesterday. I dig two holes, one in earth, another in sterilized play-sand. She seems to prefer earth. However she does not proceed. Maybe the temperature of the earth is not hot enought. It's at 25-26 Celcius. She comes out after 30 minutes of the hole and goes under the spot to heat up I guess. She doesn't dig very much, just a little.

I'm trying today to supplement with Repashy her misting water... to give her more energy
 
Don't let her see you watching her while she is digging. It often takes them more than a day to dig the hole to their satisfaction.
