: Jade laid a second egg on Sat. but nothing more. She still has strength despite the fact she has hardly eaten. I have started force feeding her again yesterday, which she takes really well, she has always been the sweetest ig I have known. She has also been drinking great the last 2-3 days from a dropper, I hate to say I do not know how much she was drinking until then. Could she be having trouble from dehydration, even though she has always had water availible? I have also been letting her roam free as much as possible since she started laying, her new home will be finished today, 6'x 6'x 4'. We have 4 cats, so can not let they roam free unfortunalty. Jade & Emerald are both rescue igs and I feel terrible that I may have not be giving her everything she needs. If anyone has had any experience with this pls contact me! planet0123@hotmail.com

: She is still strong like I said but getting very thin aside from her big belly.

---------------------------------------------------------------
She laid a third egg yesterday, but that is 1 every two days, still worried like crazy. But just as worried to put her under the knife if there is anything I can do to help her. I had read another forum where someone talked about re-absorbing the eggs...what is that all about, I've had others that say no way.

Any suggestions!!! She is warm, bathed and feed water and some small amounts of food. She is getting excerise, but can not hurt her self by falling, she still digs (been digging for about week)
