Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It is possible she is impacted ... massage her belly, neck to vent. Maybe that will help her go.
My only other advive is to get her to the vet.

When she walks straight her spine won't straighten to the center of her back and the vets say to just soak in warm water for 30 MIN a day and to deworm her

Soak her & massage her belly. Also try getting her to eat a little bit of apple, it is a natural laxative.

Hope your uromastyx is ok. I would not use vitasand, that could have lead to the impaction (if that's what it was) because it can bind up in the gut. Your diet is also high in goitrogens - kale, sweet potato, mustard greens - which can cause hypothyroidism and lead to health problems. Try adding more greens like endive, beet greens, spring mix, edible flowers and use more squash than sweet potato.

I have never been able to get her to eat anything else. Any ideas on how I can get her to eat healthier?

Cut everything very small & mix it in with what she does like, slowly using less of her favorites each week.
How is she doing?
