    Anorexic approx 2mo with failure to thrive

    I have been thinking a great deal about Strax lately. Nessie is HUGE now compared to that tiny baby we got a couple months ago. She eats a lot of salad and loves Dubais. We now have some Leopard Geckos as well and what reminds me of Strax is one baby who is sooo thin and just will not eat on...

    Growing Phoenix Worms: A Step-by-Step Guide

    A few things I do. One is keep the walls clean. Another, I put a piece of paper towel over the top of the container and then put the cover on. This does two things. It keeps the worms in and it keeps any outside things from making fruit flies and other things from growing and flying out. It also...

    Anorexic approx 2mo with failure to thrive

    Gratz to Stakz!!!! He'll show those doubters who is going to live and be a big boy! :blob5: :D :blob8: My deepest condolences to your children. That fear is why we have never fed Nessie a Dubai. It may be why she may never get a Dubai. Let your kids know they needn't have any nightmares...

    Anorexic approx 2mo with failure to thrive

    Hello Woodnt, Thank you so much for answering me. Yes, that was the same item I was trying to show you. The Repti-boost. I might get some on hand just in case. Nessie is 10 weeks old. She was hatched the first week of July I guess. She weighs 14g and is 18.7 cm today. The BSFL are bigger than...

    Anorexic approx 2mo with failure to thrive

    Hello, Is this what you gave Strax to get his appetite boosted up? http://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=lh_cart_vc_btn. I'm getting a bit worried about Nessie. She hasn't been eating hardly at all this past week and even though she grew 2.5cm I don't know how she did it. We have been...

    Anorexic approx 2mo with failure to thrive

    I'm relatively new to this site as well as to dragons since my family just got our first a few weeks ago. During this last week or so I have been a voracious reader of this site trying to learn all I can to do all I can for our little Nessie. I became entranced in your little one's story and...

    New young baby beardo wont bask?

    Tell that diddly store keeper that BDs like more floor space than air space. They are not huge climbers like many other lizards. They like a longer wider viv than a taller one. Also, you are feeding her 2 times a day, aren't you? Make sure she has her lights on for an hour before feeding and...

    Victory and Gratitude!!!

    I want to thank you all for all your help getting Nessie's new digs set up. Like so many other newbies, I was at the mercy of Pet SHop Stores and got soooo much wrong. Luckily, I have a tendency to go straight to the internet with anything new to learn all I can. WIsh I had done it before we got...

    I'm sooo confused...

    Thanks for the advice, I just ordered 1000 Phoenix worms for Nessie. I think she's a bit small yet to eat Dubais but I have little doubt that she'll be eating them in the future. I won't miss the crickets a bit. I'm thinking that my son will start a colony and care for it. My youngest son is 35...

    I'm sooo confused...

    Update on Nessie. I spent the night terrified I had killed our little one when I gave her the Superworms. Sometimes this old brain fails to fully engage. Here I am trying to do my best and make such a huge mistake. This morning she was not even moving when I got up. I turned on her light and she...

    Growing Phoenix Worms: A Step-by-Step Guide

    I have a couple questions. How long do you have before they hatch into the flies? Also, if you get them fattened up in two weeks, then chill them down, wouldn't they lose all that nice weight before being fed? Will they be hatching into nasty flies all over the place?

    I'm sooo confused...

    OMG!!! I hope she's all right. I gave her small superworms tonight and she ate 13. OMG... I hope I didn't kill her... Ok, where is the best place to order Reptiworms or Phoenix worms from? If she survives I need to buy some.

    I'm sooo confused...

    First I'm told to feed crickets, about 5 twice a day. Then I read to feed as much as she'll eat in any 10-15 minute period and do that 2-3 times a day. Then, I hear that I shouldn't feed crickets at all but to feed Reptiworms or Superworms. Then, after she gobbles a large meal of them up I read...

    Bitten by the Dragon Bug!

    I got some superworms today for Nessie and fed them to her tonight. She saw them in her dish and made a flying leap to the dish, just staring at them. She at 13 worms. I worry because even though they said they were small they seemed rather big to me. She was much more excited about the worms...
