or possibly try looking into mbd, do you supplement with calcium and a uvb lamp?

As A vet to be in June, you definitely need to take her to a Vet that specialises in Reptiles. Both Gout and MBD are strong possibilities and if not treated quickly, can prove fatal. Please take her to Vet asap and let us know how she is.

On a lighter note, congratulations on the babies! Little joys.

As the vet will prob tell you Nutrobal contains Calcium plus lots of other vitamins and minerals so you should only use it once a week. What you need to use more often is pure calcium dust with no other vitamins or minerals. Using Nutrobal more than once a week can actually lead to vitamin toxicity and/or prevent proper uptake of pure calcium. Hope that helps. Where abouts are you?
