Cheers Jo, I am very worried now as no-one seems to be able to tell me anything.....I'm still waiting for my vet to ring me back once he's spoke to 'Mr Chitty'. I tried syringe feed the 'Critical care' but I couldn't get any in. I'm gonna leave her alone now cos she's been poked and prodded enough (she also had her identichip done today as well, bless her!) and tomorrow I will try again - any tips on syringe feeding greatly excepted! I'm also going to try her with a Reptiboost bath, see if that helps.... the vet made it sound like she was quite ill

I think its going to be trial and error on the syringing, keep it up and you will get the confidence but like you say leave her for today as she has probably had enough

Hi Dawn, hope everything works out ok for you. I use reptiboost in Tortys bath, as that was advised and he is putting on weight, still not moving though .

Good luck.

If it is rocks they might recommend something like mineral oil to be tube feed to try to get them to pass. If they are stuck they would have to do surgery to remove the rocks.

****Dazza sounds like she is ovulating or even gravid all you can do is wait till she settles on a nest site which could be several days yet depending if she has fully formed eggs , if the eggs are still in the process of calcification then it could be a few weeks , many females will go through this behaviour with the coming warm weather and longer days but not all will lay yet
D*****


This was a reply that PIGLET gave to DAZZA in a previous post.... don't suppose this is anything to do with whats happening with Tally is it?? Sorry just grasping at straws until I find out whats wrong with her...
