Hello all,
Gretchen has officially gone into a semi brumation state this started about 2-3 weeks or so ago. She had been eating a little bit but as of this past Sunday (when she only ate 3 crickets and will NOT touch the greens no matter what i do lol) has not wanted to touch anything. Has been in her hut everyday (see picture)
does wake up when she hears me open the door to her enclosure to take temp readings and see if shes still alive lol but that's about it.
SO I've got that covered. my question is the following. her last poop was last Saturday the 7th. Last meal was Sunday the 15th. So shes going strong on day 12 without a bowel movement. Warm baths just don't seem to be working lately (I've given her 3 since Sunday). I'm just curious do i keep trying every few days to get her to go 1 last poop or since shes not fully in a deep brumation leave her be and do baths every week until shes back to normal?
Her temps are great on both ends, i keep it at roughly 80 on the cool end at night.
Today i removed her hut (and she was NOT happy about it lol
) so she can get a little UVB and heat in hopes that tonight she'll go #2.
She's parasite FREE and weighed in last night a whopping 387 grams!!
Thx
Krista
