My daughter's bearded dragon has laid 9 eggs and I know 100% she hasn't been exposed to any male dragons. What do I do. Are they live eggs, do I take them out, what do I do for her? Please help!


It's quite common for female bearded dragons to lay eggs even if they haven't been with a male, and these are referred to as infertile or "dud" eggs. Here's how you can care for your bearded dragon during this time:
First, you can gently remove the eggs from her enclosure, as they won't develop into baby dragons. After she lays the eggs, it's crucial to keep an eye on her health. Make sure she is eating well and staying hydrated, as laying eggs can be quite taxing on her body.
To support her recovery, provide extra nutrition by offering a balanced diet and dusting her food with calcium powder. This will help replenish the nutrients she has lost. Additionally, maintaining a comfortable habitat with the appropriate temperature and humidity levels is essential for her smooth recovery.
Keep an eye out for any issues. If she appears lethargic, stops eating, or shows any signs of illness, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian who specializes in reptiles.
If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!
