Well, I met Duckie at our petco last Monday. She was sitting there under the rock thing half covered in sand with her little eyes closed. I had a chat with one of the gals there who told me one of the clutch mates had already died for an unknown reason. I told myself not to freak out (haha) and immediately got the newly vacated 40g cleaned and ready. I have two others, Arthur and Myra who are now both in comfy 48" enclosures.
Duckie came home with me after work late Tuesday night. She pretty much jumped in my hand when I stuck it in at the store. And, now, I'm a jumpy, paranoid baby dragon mamma all over again. Lol. Her set up is the 40g, ReptiSun 10.0 UVB, basking around 100-115 degrees. She has a CHE at night. She's getting baths with pedialite. She is not eating really. Since I've gotten her home, she's had a couple of calci-worms and a coupes of extra small dubias. She did drink this morning when I misted her. She is uninterested in squash baby food. I've taken her to the vet already and her fecal was clean. He said she was a little dehydrated. She is a whopping 4 grams. Which freaks me out a little. Neither of my others were as small. I should have weighed her on my scale the day I look her in. Friday she was 4 grams. I weighed her in two separate containers today. One was 4.4g and one was 4.7g. I'm just gonna use one to get consistentcy.
Any suggestions on getting her to eat? I've got more extra small dubias and extra small Phoenix worms on the way. I want to build my stock up for when her eating takes off.
What other questions can I answer to help and if you've read this far, bless you. Pics because she's so adorable. Sorry they're sideways... ?
At petco... Jumped right on...
First bath...
All clean! She's loves being held... She jump on my hand every chance she gets...
She's king of her hill. She does look a little dehydrated here. I should have gotten a pic today. She's plumped up a little...
