Nef woke up today and doesn't seem to want to eat.

Usually I would give her a couple days to settle before being concerned but last year was hard on her.

She dislocated her hip (vet said it can't be fixed) she had a RI (treated and gone) and 3 cluthches of eggs and wasn't eating much all last year up to the point when she went to sleep and has lost most of her body weight.

She needs some weight on her, and has no interest in food. I've tried baby food as well and no go so far. She drank some water in the bath this morning, and that's it.

She doesn't like butter worms, horn worms or wax worms on the best of days.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Reptisun 10
2x Digital Probes
95-100hot 70cool (she has been favoring the cool side for a year)

Hello,

Did you get a fecal done on her or a blood test?
Perhaps her calcium is low from laying previously then going into brumation.
How close is the Reptisun 10 tube bulb to her & is there any screen or plastic in between her & the light?
You could try getting some bee pollen to help boost her immune system & appetite also. You can find it at your local health food store.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
