Many of you know Roccos story and know I just finished treating him for coccidia. He didnt have much of an appetite during treatment but now its completely gone. Let me give you a little history first.....when we first got Rocco we took all of the pet stores advice until we finally found this site. So Rocco did not have the best treatment from the start. We had all the wrong lighting, substrate, and were not feeding him correctly. So we have now been on the right track for the last 8 - 10 months. He is about a year and a half old and VERY small. When we took him to the vet in March he was about 15 inches long and only weighed 6.4 ounces. Before his treatment for coccidia he ate lots of greens and a fait amount of crickets every day and superworms about once a week but we were never able to put weight on him. Now he has lost all interest in crickets and he is eating a very small amount of greens every few days. His megaray burned out a few months ago(after only having it about 6 months) so we replaced it with a Reptisun 10.0. And of course we have his heat lamp. I keep checking his temps and they are fine. I dont know what his weight is now but I can physically see he has lost weight. He also has not been basking as much as I think he should be. I have been making him slurrys again just to get him to eat something but even that he is not eating much of. I just dont know what to do for him anymore. Please help!!
