It changes throughout the day. She will be nice and brisk in the morning, more attentive, with a few attempts of sliding herself a few inches in the viv. Right now (4PM) shes on her tummy just lying around looking sulky. She takes it without too much of a fight, I usually pet her a bit and she...

So I attempted to give it to her but she showed very little interest, and only stared at it but made no effort to eat it. She used to LOVE her live feed and would chase them :(

Okay sounds good! I called my local reptile / pet stores and none of them had silk worms. They told me that there has been a problem in the supply chain with some virus killing off the bugs so they will not be available for a little while. I instead purchased small horn worms. Do you think...

Just to provide you with complete information, she is (aside from her diet) getting 0.04mL of Calcium Glubionate every 2 days to help her with the Calcium levels. I considered increasing this but I do not want to cause a hypercalcemia.

I doubt that she has a URI, no symptoms anymore really.

No, unfortunately not :( I will try to reintroduce some of the silk worms later today before giving her a bath. When it comes to keeping her warmer, I will look at my options. I have a heat pad that warms up in the microwave so i will set her on one today for a few hours during the day to...

Hey there! I appreciate your feedback and help! I could definitely try reintroducing some live feed, and I could get some silk worms or phenix worms (although rarely available in Canada) today and see if she will chow. I agree that the vet should be able to help her, however she said that if...

It really depends, but most days she gets either the critical care fibre mixed with water and some oil, unsweetened apple sauce or butternut squash / pumpkin baby food mixed with water and some oil. She gets roughly 70% of a shot glass via a syringe (I know it is a weird measurement, but it is...

Her last "poo" was the enema. Other than that she has not gone since before the enema. So I guess it's been about a month since the enema (her last "poo"). There is no solids in her diet, should I reintroduce some?

Since her enema, about a month ago. She has been fed with a syringe, and been getting the diet I mentioned above since then under the recommendations of some users that commented in this thread. There were the arguments that an enema is harmful and realistically she cannot live from one enema to...

Hey all, It has been a while now and she still has not gone to the bathroom. I did notice yesterday, when I gave her a nice warm bath that she attempted to go a little but obviously did not manage to do it. :( Should I continue feeding her the sweet potato / butternut squash / apple sauce...

Certainly, I will make sure to use 100% pure olive oil from now on! I have been giving her warm baths daily, and every now and then will massage her lower abdomen. I notice that there is a bid of a harder part there, possibly the urate but I am uncertain.

Hi Tracie, She is doing alright, could definitely be better. She is not having regular bowel movements yet, so fingers crossed that she will have one sooner rather than later. I certainly do not want to subscribe her to another enema, and would rather help her have a natural bowel movement. I...

Yes, Canada :banghead: Yea for sure I will try both and same with the baths. Thank you for all of the help and reassurance. Hopefully she will be well soon :D
