Hello,

That's wonderful she ate today! That is fine to feed the supers, just be sure to give some variety also just to balance out the fat & protein.
I hope she is eating her greens as well!

I tried moving some stuff in her tank and removing things as well so she has the room to move around and hopefully eat her greens. And I have been giving her a variety of other stuff like crickets before and I just got Dubia roaches yesterday 🙂 once I can get the Dubia.com on a order where I’ll get it when I can be home I’m going to get a ton from there.

She also had a bubble coming from the side of her mouth, and her scab/crust is back. The bubble is the weird thing. She even had her mouth closed too.

This is odd -- please take a pic of the bubble if you can and her crust / scab

It's a good sign that she's still eating. Keep an eye on the scabbed area to see if it is getting worse or not over time. It's possible she just bit or got something rough caught against her gums, in which case it should heal up. The inside of her mouth looked good in the earlier photos. The bubbling may just be some thick saliva. Offer her some drops of water to see if she'll lick them up and that may help. Unpasteurized honey may help the gums heal up - this was mentioned earlier as well and is good to have on hand anyway. As far as the weight question goes, there isn't a set weight she should be, but keep a log of her weight so you can track it over time. Putting it in a spreadsheet helps because you can easily graph it and set a trendline so you can just see how its trending over time at a glance. She will have weight fluctuations but over time it should be increasing at her age, or at least stay level for a while.

Okay thank you! I know I put raw honey on her last night and this morning and she licks it off her lips but she seems to be having it heal, I did have tree branches in there that could’ve scratched her lips so I took most of the very sharp ones out that I thought would injure her and now she has a smaller bland tank, I have to redo it later when she gets healed and I try to make it more sharp free on the branches. Or even just buying those fake tree sticks from petco.

I have her drink water yesterday and she drank a lot again, once she knows there is water infront of her she always goes crazy for it. I just can’t find unpasteurized honey anywhere so I am trying raw honey to see if it works. I’ll take a picture later tonight of how it looks today after doing the honey twice. Because the last time she had this it went away and looked normal, now it came back but is more red and looks like scratches, but there’s nothing bug wise in her tank that could’ve bit her.

Hello,

They often can scratch their mouth on branches, especially if they are getting ready to shed. The raw
honey can really help, plus it's safe to use & perfectly fine for them to ingest also.
That's great she is eating some now too. Keep us posted on her progress.

I also have an appointment later today for her, she definitely has it healing but not in the fast direction and she definitely likes to lick the honey like crazy haha.

Hello,

They do tend to really like the taste of the honey
that is for sure. I'm glad it is healing, even if it is
slow.
