This evening one of my females laid her second clutch of the season, making it 4 eggs in total. Of the 1st clutch, 1 egg was all squishy (soft shell that you could pinch together) and 1 egg that was perfect. Sadly I had a power cut last week and sadly lost the good egg :main_no:
Now today she laid 2 more squishy eggs. One was broken, which may have been me digging it out, but I used a little soft bristle brush to stop me from doing that. I am incubating the other egg in case, but the last one never hardened up and went moldy after about 2 weeks.
Is this due to a lack of calcium? All food is dusted and she eats well. I also have a small dish of calcium in the tank 24/7 for the leos to help themselves, although it spends more time tipped over then not.
If it is a calcium problem, how can I make her get more?
