Hey Guys
I have a breadie who was nice and plump, all ready for breeding season and she popped out 19 eggs just over a month ago.
That's all well and good. But I noticed that not only did she (obviously) loose the belly podge thanx to the eggs no longer being in there, but she also lost some condition off her tail. Not a real lot, but enought that you could just see her hips and feel her spine in her tail.
Now I don't know about everyone else but I like my beardies fat :shock: :lol: I HATE when you can feel their spine in their tails let alone SEE It. So, I have spent the past month pumping her full of roaches, fruit and veg and a couple pinkies. She has been plumping up beautifully - nearly up to the same weight as she was before she laid - but no weight has ended up on her tail, in fact.... she's lost MORE !!! :shock: :?
Why, I hear you good people ask???
Coz the crazy woman has gone and double clutched!!!!! :shock: :shock:
Now I have NEVER had an animal double clutch before though I have heard of heaps of other people experiencing it...
My concern is : how do I get her to gain the condition back on her tail etc and is there something that can be done to help aviod double clutching? I would much rather re-introduce her to the male when I can see that she's fat and healthy rather than her taking it upon herself to do it all over again!! Grrrrr!!!
So does anyone here have a good 'plumping up' receipe? Something with lots of vitamins and even more fat??
Thanx in advance
