Does anybody have experience with animals who are egg bound?
I have a sub adult female who really is too small to be gravid, yet here she is, unbred and gravid, probably egg bound. She's fairly weak, too. I gave her some liquid calcium, but she hasn't touched her food. Tips?

I am Hedy. Lol.
She's a leopard gecko. That's why I posted this in the leopard gecko section.

Gee, I don't know you could try a multivitamin powder/calium carbonate mix, according to this manual I have on leopard geckos.

That's what the Calcium+ is, it's a calcium/multivitamin powder.

Re: Does anybody have experience with animals who are egg bound?
lethargy, loss of appetite, bloated stomach, depression, non-responsiveness, weakness, straining (to lay eggs)- these are all normal symptoms in leopard Geckos that are gravid. from my understanding just set up a proper place for her to relax and lay the eggs. She will either choose to lay them or reabsorb them. I have a friend that used to breed them and she said 98% of the time an un-bred female will reabsorb the eggs over a period of a a week or 2.
