So when I went to check on rufus she was tucked under her log. I bathed her for about 30 minutes and she really perked up. She became active and bright and overall her normal spunky self. I believe this to be dehydration. Do you guys think so? She's very healthy but I was away for 2.5 weeks and she got very little hydration other than greens. Any advice? Shes normal again but I wanna be safe.
Do you normally give water by way of a dropper? Or does she drink in her bath? It's good that she perked up, that means it's probably nothing too bad. Just keep giving her a little more hydration each day and she should be fine.
Was someone else taking care of her while you were gone? I was just out of the country for a week, and even though I showed my Mom how to spray them with the bottle they were a little dehydrated when I got back based on their urates. Since I've been home though, they seem to have normalized with offering water through a dropper a couple of times a day.
