Describe her nesting box....some igs will reject one box and like another. She's gonna need alot of room. 3 days and no pooping is ok, everything she ate and then some is going to egging. The Neocalglucon that Igmomma described can be bought oer the counter....sometimes you gotta order it from the pharmacy because they won't normally stock it. I think Calciquid is comparable...so if you can't get one maybe the other. What Ive found helpful is to get a "pill taker" for animals at the pet store.....its a plastic rounded tipped syringe....for giving small amounts of food or pills or liquid meds...I think its a great thing to have ...won't cause trauma & aspiration ...Her calcium intake is VERY important now and 30-60 days following her egging spaying. I don't know how comfortable you are with her free roaming and maybe laying her eggs somewhere...but its an option that may help her ^excerise...is she restless? scratching? trying to get out? Here's a website regarding spaying her....graphic...its surgery...but it will tell ya alot....I do think you should have X-ray done on her to see how far she is progressing...10 days is not uncommon to stop eating...some do....If you need a link to ARAV (reptile vets) just holler!
