I think my one female is egg bound, she's been holding onto an egg i belive for a while now and she's refusing food! She is still pretty active and alert, but she's getting thin in the tail and i'm starting to worry

She was 100% healthy when i bred her, she dropped one egg and didn't drop the other... She is also a first time breeder!

Is there anything i can do to save her or help her ?

I put her in a nice new tank with new dirt and lots of it to help her out to lay it, put a lay bin in as well... but all she does is lay around with her back legs streched out all the way

So if anyone has any pointers or anything to help her with passing the egg Ok, that would be awesome!

Thank you so much & Happy Easter!

The only thing to do is to take her to the vet who will be able to give her an injection of oxytocin so she can pass the egg.
