Hello all,
I recently talked to Terry about this when 2 of my females that were almost certainly gravid. They went into prelay sheds but in the following days never laid and appeared thin. In his experiences, he mentioned it may affect future breedings because the eggs would still be in there or reminants (makes sense). Most likely they wouldn't have been completely shelled or they would have trouble with impaction, correct?
I had a similar thing happen this year with a hypo female that looked very gravid last year and didn't lay. She passed meals, as did the other 2 this year, and her activity was normal. She bred and became egg bound.
My concern is for next year and if they will experience the same thing. I contacted my vet for some advice (still waiting to hear from him) but I'm curious to see if others have experienced this and if the females the following year had trouble depositing eggs.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks
