Thanks Tracie, I make a 'salad dressing' for her, using calcium and fresh coconut water, as she has laid eggs in the past, however, I do not feel any eggs at this time. Since she has not been eating her salads, I do add a bit to the food I force feed her. I've been giving her Reptiboost &...

I have had my Paco girl for about 3 years now. The previous owners had her for about 4 years before hand. From the start she was special. Recently, she has stopped eating, I have been force feeding her to try to get some sort of nutrients in, and bathing her for hydration. Today, she has...

Look into starting a small colony, it doesn't really take that much, and it'll save you money over time. Welcome to the BD.org family Seven!

Really nice job, love the stairs/hide/basking build!

Eating His Yum Yums 'Mom, are you going to help clean my Boost Mustache, or just take pictures?' Night Night Time

:blob8: :blob8: :blob8: :blob8: Hunter gets better and better each day, unfortunately, I've been busy with him and work so I haven't been able to get online. He's down to eating the Repta+Boost given to us by the vet off of a baby spoon, attacking it like it's the most delish bug he's...

So, Hunter is getting stronger and stronger by the day. He's eating roaches, and has started to chase after them like before. He has some signs that he's still healing...the poor baby's head seems too heavy for himself at times; he will hold his head up proud and in charge, but then his head...

:blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: HUNTER'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: :blob5: :blob8: We picked him up about a hour ago, he's already moving around his tank...climbing to lay on his log, and moving back to his basking perch, albeit he's slow and walking nearly like...

So Hunter is not yet home...We were given the option of keeping at the vet (where he's still getting his antibiotics via IV) until Tuesday, or bringing him home. As much as we miss him, we realize that it is better for him to stay and get his antibiotics via IV instead of orally, as they are...

So I called for my morning update on Hunter. Dr says that he'd like to see him eating more frequently and with less help/syringe. He is concerned about his staying hydrated, so...I have to wait at least until this afternoon before I know if he's coming home tonight, or if I have to wait one more...

Today is a good day!!!! I spoke with another vet at the same hospital, as the regular vet was at a different location today. He said that Hunter is taking baby steps on getting better, but that he is now moving around a lot more. The vet said that they are still syringe feeding him, etc, but...

Thanks Esther...me too...will update again tomorrow...Prayers, positive thoughts, and sweet happy dreams until then!

So I called the vet this morning. He said that while there isn't too much progress, he is starting to move his head more. They are continuing the syringe feeding, as well as the fluids and antibiotics. I called later this afternoon, and the technician told me that he is getting stronger, but...

As of the last time I spoke with the vet, no change since I saw him around 4pm. He was breathing more regularly, and was opening and closing his eyes better than his eyes just barely open (non-blinking) last night. At this point, we don't know what he could have eaten from the floor (as he...
