Ohhh! we'll we've got 11 now and she looks like she's just sitting there now..she's not in a nest box either she did this out in the open on top of the sand/dirt mix. How will I know when she's finished laying?

The only way to know for sure is by xray or ultra sound. How many are there now?

15 is the final count, I think. I still give her baths everyday and she drinks, she ate a little bit, some collard leaves, squash, a few mealworms, but she's not eating a lot, thats why I wasn't sure if she had laid them all or not. She looks real thin though and I don't really see anymore. Oh, and the water she drinks has calcium powder in it, and it's also sprinkled on her food.

Don't over do the calcium Hun. This is as deadly as not enough. Just stick to putting it her food and she'll be fine. It's good she's eating and drinking. Just keep your eyes on her. It's kind of hard with her just laying eggs and this being brumation for most beardies - so to stay on the safe side if she begins to show signs of lethargy...get her to a vet super immediately. If she did retain any eggs it will likely kill her. At the very least it could be brumation, but you just can't know for sure.

Hello! I just wanted to give an update on the female bearded dragon we have decided to name Sarah. Her final egg count was 25 eggs and since then she has been doing very well. She gained more weight back, but the only thing she will eat is crickets. She doesn't want to eat her greens or veggies..i was thinking of maybe giving her some water through a syringe, is this neccessary? If yes, anyone know how much and how often? Thanks!

Try giving the greens in the morning and the bugs at night. And if that still doesn't wortk hold off on the bugs for a couple of days. You could also try putting a couple of bugs in the dish with the greens to get the dragons attention. Instead of trying to syringe the water in, run a couple of inches of water in a tub and let her soak in it. After she has been in there a minute or two to settle down quickly push her head under water. Don't hold it there just a quick dip to let her know what it is. You can also get RepCal bearded dragon pellets, soak them in water and use them as a sort of salad topper. You can also try strawberries and melons to get fluids in.
