Yesterday I got some new small crickets finally and she ate 12 so that is great! She has not pooped now for 4 days and is quite lethargic. I am bathing her every night now and the last few ones she finally started to enjoy it and then we have snuggle time in sofa afterwards where she will fall asleep on me.
And YES! Finally my order from Germany arrived, 70 EUR total I paid for a da*m tube - reptisun 10.0, I got the 36 inch one so it will cover almost the whole terrarium. Question: Should I cover (or cover with a mesh) a small part of the tube so that the UVB is not shining everywhere? Second question: How far from the lizard should be tube be ? Should I try to put it on the back wall or in the roof? Remember my terrarium is only 50 cm / 20 inch tall...
Another great thing: At the same time I also got a huge delivery of 250 crickets, locust and loads of reptiworms/phoenixworms/calciworms (same thing different name, basically). Question: How many calciworms should I feed her and can I/is it a good idea to put them in a bowl in the cold side of the terrarium and leave them there so she can go and eat whenever she wants?
Another question: She has stopped totally eating greens now, she will not touch any and has not done this in over a week, what ever greens I am trying. Any suggestions on that?
I am thinking about forcing some pure apple juice 25%, a tiny bit of dehydration powder for babies and bottled water in her, since her skin and eyes still tells she is dehydrated although I bathe her so much... Well, not super strange, she is not eating anything with liquid and will not lick syringes no matter what I attempt.
STUBBORN LITTLE THING!
Thanks!
Yeah no idea. A pimple?Beardednoob":35vskhus said:May I ask what was black that was around her eye?
Thanks for ur reply!Buggsy":1zy27yif said:she really dosnt need that large water disk, it will be responsible for the high humidity, which can promote fungal growth and respiritory infections! i hope it isnt a fungus around the eye as they are very tricky to get rid of! I might suggest a vet visit just to get it checked out!
i would also remove the sand. Not only is it an impaction risk but its very unhygenic. Some of the symptoms of parasite infection include loss of appitite. So when you are getting her eye checked out take a poop sample with you and ask for a fecal test.
As for crix, yes they all go off them in the end, but as we are in the UK we get to buy lovely locusts! They love them, they are very good feeders and are much nicer to keep then crix! Just get the right sixe, prob 3 week. As the bodies are nice and soft you can go a little larger then the space between the eyes, but no too much as then the legs get too big!
