We rescued an approximate 2 yr female off of Craigslist on Monday Aug 7th. We were told the son had been lazy feeding her, her light bulbs were blown out (unknown amount of time) and she needed a better home. We also have a 3 month old that is thriving! Before picking Eevie up, we made a trip to petsmart. A reptisun 10.0, basking bulb and a few other items. Basking temp between 93-98 and cool side average of 80. Dhe had sand in her enclosure which went in the trash as soon as we got home! It was replaced with the fake, harder looking sand mat, which has been changed bc of her immobility and her belly scrapping across it. She is so thin. She has mbd im sure, no use of her rear legs. She is alert for the most part but has her moments. She had a bowel movement Monday night after her bath, but none further. She has had daily natural sun baths for about 30 min! When I went in yo get her for her bath last night, she was kicking her back left leg!! I was so excited! She has had 1 dose of critical care, force fed. She has a healthy appetite. Been going easy on the protein bc of impaction possibility. She has no problems being held, im jusy careful bc she is so thin and brittle. I am curious if there is any other suggestions to help her along in gaining weight or feeling better?
