Luna update and questions...

lele Jan 28, 2004 11:43 AM

well, Luna dropped about 5 grams (according to my hanging scale) but I bought a new digi-scale and she is 70g, which is what she was at the vet's a few weeks ago.

She is eating 3crix and a silkie or two (1/2" - 1" each day! Quite the appetite! I see no visible signs of eggs yet, but she is still distended. Probably a good thing no one replied to my post about egg reabsorption as I do not think that is what is happening, but I really don't know why everything is taking so long.

Wondering about the calcium - I am still giving her the N-Cg 2x/day (.07cc) and no repta-aid since she is eating well.

Any thoughts?

Are you dusting also?

No. I stopped dusting since I was giving her the liquid calcium and she's eating some silkies again and I know they are high in calcium, too. I dust with vitamins only and that is rare b/c my crix are well gutloaded.

One concern about the N-cg is the length of time...but I assume I just keep giving it to her until she lays?
