so for the first time in her life my bearded dragon decided to lay 18 eggs yesterday. now she has never been huge (her biggest weight was only 260g) but since laying her eggs her weight has dropped down to only 210g. how much should i feed her? she had stopped eating for 2 months before she layed the eggs. infact i always thought she was a he and that the reason she had stopped eating was because she had some sort of internal parasite.

well thankfully she has started eating again. she had about 10 small locusts yesterday and has had about the same this morning along with a bit of salad. i know waxworms are fattening but she doesnt like them

Laying eggs results in weight loss. Just keep feeding her a varied diet, as much as she'll eat. There's no short cut. Consistent, good nutrition will help her gain.
