Astrid is home doing better, I had to place her cage on its side so she wouldn't attempt to clime. The vet sent me home with Calcium drops in which I giver her one drop a day along with a formula mix that is given to her by a dropper every few hours. Some calcium dusted crickets are offer to her. The uvb light has been replace with a new one and she is misted three to four times a day. Its been a long few days but she seems to be moving a lot better. a low sand container has been place in with her just incase. Astrid finally passed some fluids and had a nice number 2 (sorry for the tmi) but its a proud moment for us! It will be a long year of recovery and hopes that she will be strong enough to lay her eggs. But all we have to do is wait and see and keep getting her well.

She looks better! She definitely looks gravid too, so are you just using playsand? I've heard that a 50 50 mixture of topsoil and sand works well but I am not sure.

Is the sand moist enough for her to dig a tunnel that won't collapse in her??
