Advice about Pickle

Rae · 07-05-2011, 12:20 PM

Bit concerned about my lickle Pickle Monster!

She has slept all day yesterday and today and has barely eaten anything! Cheese seems fine! She's not slept as much as Pickle and is eating fine!

Not sure about wee and poo to be honest its hard to tell who has gone and who hasnt!

I found 1 wee and 1 poo yesterday nothing today though!

Has Pickle maybe got worms or is it something simpler like dehydration or is she just sulking? Is it worrying if she hasnt pooed in a couple of days?

Thanks all

Have you bathed her? Temps on table hot cold under lamp, room temp what lifting are you using, what substrate

They both get bathed everyday in warm water for 15-20 mins.

Room temp is 20c cool end of temp is 20c and warm end is 28c.

Substrate is topsoil and playsand mix 70:40 and i've not long put some sticks and moss in there a few days ago for extra surace texture as Cheese always ends up on her back and struggles to right herself!

Fed on mix of weeds and plants although i have just bought some pellets for them to try as i'm finding it difficult to find enough variety of weeds!

What are they?
If you wake her up does she just go back ti bed

Also how old are they

Hermanns and yes she does! I woke her and put her next to food this morning after her bath and she had about 4 bites and wondered off to sleep again! x

Have you had a poo sample done? To check for worms

Rae · 07-05-2011, 12:35 PM

No they havent. They had a health check last month though. How do they get worms?

ziggy's owner · 07-05-2011, 12:37 PM

I just went to check mine as they are outside it's 18.9 degrees outside and they are out, maybe she's too warm which is why she's sleeping, you could try tweaking the temps
