Still concerned

It's like a never ending circle. Galileo eats well for a few days, then it all starts again. She's is pooping more regularly now, every 2-3 days so she must be eating. She ate a bit of butternut squash yesterday, today she hasn't touched anything, not the day before yesterday. She sleeps most of the day, her temps are fine, a good range from 20.1 to 34.1 at the hottest under the light. She has a humid hide, a cool hide, a plant, food and fresh water every day, she's bathed daily, her worm count only showed 1 dead larva.

I really don't know what else to do.

Oh hunni. She might start suprising you soon and pick up. She could also still be setting from all the changes xx

Hopefully. x

Pussygalore · 21-05-2014, 07:47 PM

has she been outside in the lovely weather we've had, that can usually pick them up

becciwales · 21-05-2014, 09:30 PM

No, I was advised to let her settle in and not move her too much as she's been moved to an enclosure on her own x

I'm sure she will be ok Becci as she is at least eating something. It's so hard not to worry though isn't it. What was it that kick started her appetite before?

I think bathing in reptoboost.
It is hard not to worry x

cherylahutch · 21-05-2014, 10:31 PM

I think if she is eating a bit you should be ok it might just be a settling in thing if she has been moved. As long as she is active and appears bright eyed and alert I wouldn't worry to much if not maybe a vets trip would be an idea but hopefully she will be fine when she settles into her new enclosure xx

How long are your lights on Becci?

They're on for 12 hours, on a timer.
Last night was the first time she had used her humid hide. x
