Well my female marge has not been doing so well, not quite sure what is wrong either. Her substrate is paper towels and she has hide and a rock, she was doing great when I first got her and she just seems to not be feeling well, she is very weak, she will eat maybe one or two things at all all day long. Like a piece of collard green and 1 cricket and she lays there all day. She seems limp, she has a hard time it seems wanting to open her eyes. Her temps daytieme about 100-115 nightitme about 70-75. Anyone have any suggestions or anything I would appreciate anything. Thank You!

Can you remind me how long you have had her and how old she is?

Try highering the basking temp. Put the hot spot around 130 deg.

Another thing I don't like is that you're feeding crickets. Crickets are purely an opportunistic meal for them in the wild. Uros are herbivores and as such their kidneys are designed to process plant proteins not animal proteins. If she doesn't seem to pick up I'd strongly sugest a vet checkup.

Here is the food list from the care sheet. Like Mike said, they eat mostly veggie and proteins should be used as treats. Here is the diet section from the care sheet. But be sure to check out the whole thing.

Diet:

Uromastyx are Omnivorous. The majority of their diet consists of vegetables with the occasional insects as a treat. Vegetables include carrots, beans, peas, corn, mustard greens, bok choy, collard greens, parsnips, squash and dandelion flowers. You can also offer birdseed and finch pellets in to the vegetable mix. Make sure anything picked from a garden or yard is 100% pesticide and herbicide free.
Veggies not to feed would be, spinach, beet greens, Swiss chard, cabbage and limit broccoli and kale, these tend to bind important nutrients or tend to induce metabolic problems overtime. Romaine lettuce and regular lettuce provide no nutritional value. Insects include: crickets, mealworms, superworms and waxworms. Insects should be used sparingly because of their kidneys inability to process large amounts of protein. All foods should be dusted with Vitamin D3 and calcium.

I will higher the temps, she was just moved 3 days ago from a 10 gal tank to a 20 l. I just got her about maybe 3-4 months ago and she is a baby if you go to uro pics her name is marge look at the pics, she is quite small. I offer food wise in a dish she has-Collard Greens, yellow squash, zucchinni,cucumber, mango,endive,bellpeppers,and she and irwin my male uro get lentils. There greens are always dusted with both and she does only get the crix and mealies as a treat she will get one a day, or maybe only have like 3-4 a week. She isn't really about mealies or crix she always eat the greens no problem, but she won't eat that anymore either, she did poop yesterday just not alot. Thanks!

Yes at 3-4 months old the basking temps should be higher.
