You can mix just a tiny amount of calcium in with the critical care.

Hello,

That would work perfectly to mix a bit of calcium in with the critical care. How much are you giving
her daily of the critical care?

She is roughly having around 2 mls a day all she will want, because it isn't much I'm mixing it a tiny bit stronger.

I keep offering roaches and she just looks at them, I put out fresh reens everyday doesn't want them so going buying some mealworms today see if she has a bash of them.

Cheers

Just an update she still isn't eating solids but the critical care is putting some weight back on her I am giving her the critical care everyday 3 days mixed with some calcium and 2 days mixed with d3 and minerals and vitamins. She isn't being lazy and is moving round just not eating live foods or veggies. Is it strange for her not to start eating coming up to 3 weeks?

I'll keep at it 😍

It really depends on what meds she was on and your beardie in particular. It took Snickers upward of two months before she ate good again. Chomp was on the same meds as Snickers and if I remember correctly it took her 3 or 4 weeks to get her appetite back.

She is beautiful 😍. With the wrinkles she could be a bit dehydrated. To check, gently pinch the the skin into a tent shape, if it hold that shape sge is dehydrated, if it just returns to normal then she isn't.
It also could just be the way she is sitting.

Yeah it's just the way she is lying down, she is having the critical care about 2ml which is mixed with water and 1ml of water on top of that a day. When she is is stood up or stretched out not a wrinkle in site, thank you she is lovely 😊

I would probably offer it a few days a week until her appetite is back fully.

Hey, I just saw one of your posts from a few months ago, I’m sorry for your loss of Sweet Pea and Zen, I know that’s really rough, and I’ll keep you in my prayers!
