Vhagara has been doing great and finally eating collard greens (at least). Won't eat any other green or veggie. She would prefer I feed her hornworms all day long but she doesn't get one unless she has eaten her greens. She isn't into eating dubia roaches like she was last year. She might eat about 10 per week. So she was doing well other than I noticed her poop has gotten really stinky like it did last year when she had a parasite (entamoeba). Four days ago my husband and I fixed up the empty Ferret Nation cage in the sun (was 85 degrees) with a dig box, hide, etc. so she could be outside with us. She did not act stressed and spent time basking in the sun. When we came in, we brought her inside to her habitat. About one hour later I tried to feed her and she refused. That was four days ago and she does not want to eat unless it is a hornworm. So in the past four days all she has had to eat in 4 medium hornworms and one medium dubia roach. I am not letting her have anymore worms until I can get her back on greens or roaches. Do you think I stressed her out by taking her outside and this has set her back? I have not taken her outdoors since. Or, could the stress of something new like the outdoors have caused her to be more vulnerable to the parasite. I will try to get a stool sample asap to a reptile vet and check for a parasite. I have noticed lately that sometimes the urate has a small amount for pink tinge to it. Thank you.
