Answer
Alison, it would be very difficult for me to diagnose your dragon via email.  She IS eating, but not much, you have "gravel stuff" in the cage, any chance she ingested some of that?  I certainly can't tell whether she's gravid via email.  I can't even determine sex.  Perhaps you need a trip to the vet?  Sorry but these aren't basic questions I can answer w/o actually seeing and holding the dragon.
