UPDATE ON MY 4 RESCUES:
1. Baby: 4 yr old Lemon female. I have not measured her yet. Tail tip is missing. 10.5 ounces. She and Bubba have been 2gether since being babies, and reside together. She has been dropping eggs since before I got her. She laid 6 last nite in the hollowed out center of a a brick. AND AFTER I SET HER SUCH A NICEEEEE NEST BOX TOO!! They did not survive. To give you an idea how calm she is....As I re-did their viv, I was vacuuming the sand from around and under her, AND while Bubba decided her head would make a great perch, SHE LAYS AN EGG!! I have it in a Hobabator. I have not yet figured out the temp gadget yet. My Tiel, Kaiser, ate the instructions that came with it. ANY/ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED!!
2. Bubba: I may have to change his name) 4 yr old Lemon male. I have not measured him yet. Tail tip is missing. 15 ounces. Bubba and Baby have been 2gether since being babies, and reside together. The vet's finger accidentally slipped while checking his mouth. His tooth caught that finger just right. I heard the slice. It happened to me once.
Is there a doctor in the house!! MEDIC! MEDIC!! BLOOD SPILL!! CLEAN UP ON AISLE !, CLEAN UP ON AISLE 1!
3. Rusty: Red male, small amt/previous, MBD in tail. Otherwise, healthy and active. Not measured as yet. 14 ounces. He has a set of 3 Palm Trees overlooking his food/water dishes, and a new log hideaway, courtesy of Petsmart.
4. MISS Precious: She has an abscess/infection. When I got her, she was 8.3 3/4 oz. Today, 12-27-2009, she is at 11.5 oz; a gain of 2 oz in 5/6 days. The baby food helped a little. She is on 2x daily soaks, baytril at 1 cc daily, and critical care, 2/3x daily. I want to buy some Benebac GEL tomorrow. The vet says to give her a HALF A GRAM daily. How, pray tell, do I figure out/measure a half a gram? All suggestions welcomed.
Petsmart donated some artificial plants, large food dishes, amd a log hideaway for the rescue dragons.
I still need to get some timers, shady hiding spots, etc., for the vivs. Does anyone know of a place I can get them inexpensively? Thanks.
P.S. : The remaining egg did not make it.
