I have a cousing who has 2 iggs, i think one of them is a female, and I want to give him all the details so that he can help his iggs if there is a problem. Also i was thinking of having a ig myself, but Im cheking all the goods and bads about iggs. I think that they get eggbound when the dont get enough calcium. I really want to know if Is it easy for an igg to get eggbound? And what are the cares when an igg is in her breading season?
I have a male ig, so I'm not totally familiar with the needs of females. I know that they need to be VERY hydrated and have calcium supplements during season. I think x-rays are needed to tell if a female is egg-bound, and care needs to be given when handling her as eggs can break inside causing serious problems. Sometimes egg binding requires surgery... spaying. A good, no GREAT, herp vet is an absolute MUST for an owner of a female ig.
