Wink Major Rankin Problem

My female Rankin has been rather lethargic over the past week and has not been eating that I've seen. A few weeks ago she layed 9 eggs which was a surprise as she normally lays around 16-18 eggs.

Having a good look at her she seems to have a lump inside which I believe could be a trapped egg as it seems around the same size. My other female has no such lump.

Has anyone else come across this and have any advice as to what I can do. I'd rather not put her through major surgery if I can help it.


Cheers

I'd perhaps give her a soak in water to see if she'll past anything, but really you need to get an xray done to see if she has retained any eggs.
