You can make a slurry out of that or go get some baby food like squash and some green beans and some chicken --- mix it together w/ some water so its a little runny and feed her that -- see if she will lick it off the spoon if not I would force feed her some like 1ML at a time if she has not been eating --- and feed a couple of times a day - you dont want her so weak she cant eat --- but I would see if she will eat off the spoon first --

Oh my, she doesn't look real thrilled does she? LOL
Just keep an eye out for large birds of prey or other predators which could stress her.
Hopefully the nice sunshine will help her feel better.
Let us know how she is doing.

That is great you will be purchasing the new UVB light now, it will really help out. The
compact/coil lights are just not very good.
A lot of people use flashing or reflective backing/tape to help increase the UVB output if
you wont be getting a light fixture with reflective backing. I think that 6-8 inches from the
basking bulb is probably going to be too close. I would aim for 10 or so inches. What is
the wattage of the basking bulb?
If your house tends to get a little cooler in the winter, using a ceramic heat emitter should
be perfectly fine. Just be sure the overnight temperatures don't get above 75-80F.
Is she feeling better right now? I hope that she doesn't have cancer, either. I'm happy to
hear that she is a bit more active now. Many times they will give a few bobs just trying to
communicate with you, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Is her beard clear & normal
color or darker in color?
Let us know how she is doing.
