Well she is sorta eating... more like picking here and there.

I found this in another post and thought I would answer it before hand. Is there anything else I can do? Do you think this is still relocation stress, and she barely moves most of the time especially in her tank and the bath. She HATES the bath.

It's probably most likely still relocation stress. It took my beardie almost a month to get over it for the most part. I can tell he is still not completely comfortable yet, even if I've had him for over 2 months now. Give her some time, she'll come around!

 

[Bellalee]

She's not going to make it that long(2 months), she has been pooping out the baby food, whole, and now wont touch live feeders, anyway if I hold them up to her, I put small small roaches in a bowl, she wont even look at them.

 

[Bellalee]

Anyone??

 

[EmJagsz]

Just keep her hydrated with baths daily. Does she seem sick? Is she still basking? Is she still active? Is she normal otherwise? Like I said, give her some time. You've only had her for 2 weeks. Keep her on the baby food if she will eat it. Also I read that you are supposed to water down the baby food a little before you feed it, are you doing that?

 

[Bellalee]

she is now not eating anything

 

[EmJagsz]

How long has she not been eating?

 

[Bellalee]

She hasn't had any solid food since the 12th I did a fecal today at work we don't usually work with reptiles, and the vet looked at he said it looked like some kind of organism, but couldn't tell what.

She looks like shes on the way out.
