my female leo is around 52g and a very healthy eater. she ate three supers two days ago. she went over to her corner and started to do her business last night so i went to look and she was really pushing hard and it was so close to coming out but only the urates came out. she kept pushing after that but gave up after 30 seconds or so? any help or suggestions? i soaked her in war water for 15 min today and tried to get her to lick up olive oil last night but she barely got any (she hated it haha) if anyone has any other recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I would give her a few days before you worry too much. What are the temperatures and substrate in her cage?

the temps are around 80 to 83 on the cool side and anywhere from 93 to 98 on the warm side, and she's on eco earth

thanks, and yeah i just put a small piece of tile (16x10) under their food and water just to keep them from ingesting the eco earth. she did eat a little bit of it when she got her last super but thats the only time she has eaten it. im just scared about impaction i guess :/
