Very Skinny

Hi Guys

My poor Gizmo has been through alot in the last 6 weeks.

A quick outline:

I got her and my male on 2 May 11, i seperated them, 10 days later Gizmo layed a clutch of 24 eggs. Then she got very lifeless so took her to the vet with a poop sample, and she had coccidia. She had treatment and went off her food completly so was giving her critical care formula. She is now clear of coccidia, but, now as i type this she is laying her second clutch of eggs. I am worried as she hasn't eaten for so long, she is looking very boney around her tail. I'm hoping that she is gonna be ok, she looks very tired. Once she has finished laying i'll offer her some food. I think i'm gonna try and get her some wax worms too.

I have been bathing her up until 3 days ago. Since then she hasn't wanted me to touch her, not even on her head so i guessed it would be best to leave her.

Any advice on how to fatten her up would be greatly appreciated

Wax worms and butter worms would be good for putting some weight back on her.

Hi

I have bought her some wax worms, and she is looking at them as if to say "what is that, you don't expect me to eat it do you" :roll:

She has just had a nice warm bath, and has eaten 3 hoppers, which is a start.
