My female, which lives with my male, had 2 clutches which are now in the incubator.. She has thinned out more than I would like her to, she's almost unhealthy looking. What can I do to beef her up?

After each clutch a female will gorge herself before going off food again. offer her as many mealies as she wants, as well as some waxies, all covered in calcium powder. a live pink mouse after every clutch is great for boosting her protein and fat intake.

try offering her a pinkie. also they lose their appetite when they're about to lay eggs. My female right now wont eat either becuase she is about to lay her 2nd clutch.

She hasn't really eaten much at all since her last clutch (almost 3 weeks ago) I even offered her like 6 wax worms and she only ate 1 or 2. I always have mealies in there but they hardly get eaten.
