Thanks Tracie. I always feel like "maybe there's more I/we should be doing? Maybe we missed something", but I could never think of anything. Thank you for picking me up a little, so to say. She is a little bit more active, but only when she sees Azreal. We got her some Repta-aid and she's been taking it okay. As Steve said, due to unforeseen money issues, we haven't been able to get her any thing else really. Her weight dropped from 175g to 140g, but since the repti-aid and baby food, she's now up to 142g. It's a start.Drache613":12q2y6vt said:Hello,
I understand. I am sorry it has been such an uphill battle for Allie.
You are doing a phenomenal job & I don't think you could have done anything differently.
Let us know if you need anything & how she is doing.
Tracie

The other possibility is that they have large deep mouths and if she wasn't swallowing it well for some reason she may have had food sitting in the back of her mouth. They can also vomit if not feeling well, etc.
I"ve not fed the Reptaid products, but have used similar things (Oxbow Critical Care and Carnivore Care) which are powders mixed with water- When i've fed my dragons this in the past I've given between 3 and 8 ml (3-6 ml or cc was more typical). IF she hasn't been eating much at all I'd start with smaller amounts - maybe a couple times a day- and build up from there. For example feed 1-1.5 ml twice daily for a 4-5 days, and then do 2 ml twice daily and then 3-4 once daily, etc. And she may tolerate that better? It's hard to know exactly - the above would probably help if it is just related to having a small stomach from not eating well lately.
I'm happy she's up in weight some though ! Good luck !
