[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2043179, member: 114539"] What substrate are you using? That almost looks like sand he has passed. Whatever it is looks way dry. How are you hydrating him? Just putting him in a bath doesn't work unless he actually drinks in the bath. The hydrating by soaking is maybe THE WORST piece of misinformation passed around. They have to actually drink water to hydrate. The easiest way is to use an eyedropper to drip it on their snout. He should start lapping at it as soon as he realizes it's water. If he doesn't you can add in a little none citrus fruit juice or punch to give it flavor. If you use the juice or punch be sure to use a wet cloth to wipe away any that runs down his chin. No need to take a chance on causing bacteria or fungus to start. Also be patient and don't try to force it, go at his pace or you could accidentally aspirate him. As dry as that looks I would probably give him just a little babies pedialyte for the first couple trys. [/QUOTE]
