Just 3 grams at 4mos? What's up with that?

 

[StellarExotics]

Is it just me? or is the smaller one's leg on backwards?


Love the big guy though...

cheers.

Yeah Laney, hatch problems seem to keep her from
eating normal. I've had to help feed her in different ways.
But still she remains 3 grams. no more...no less.
She has size problems on being able to get worms in her mouth.
I have to pick the very smallest baby meal worms and hold them
down with tweezers in front of her.
Also feed off my finger a liquid calcium and meat mix that she will
lick but consumpion doesn't seem to be enough for growing.
I'm very surprised she is still with us and as active as she is.
I hold her, give warm soaks, keep temps good and plenty of
hand picked fresh, tiny, tiny, meals on the flooring at all hours.
I'm afraid it's one of the sad cases of geckoing.
Take care. HJ

Poor little thing. Amazing that she's hung on this long. Have you considered trying Marcia's slurry mixture? It may help to give her some extra umph for a couple weeks to put on a gram or two, since she's held on this long. Good luck with little Biddy

I hope she makes it for you.

DJ...Leg is not, but another of her problems is
signs of MBD that may have allowed it to be temp.
I'm treating her with licquid cal.
take care. hj

Yes Laney...surprised here too.
Have her on a HJ slurry mix.....easier.
Licqid calcium and Armour Potted meat....works well.
She has been showing progress ....hunting worms (minis) is good now.
Eating size is a little bigger.
Thanks.
Take care. HJ​

She is in good care! I feel what you are going through-- I have a three month old at 6 grams and her aim is terrible with worms. It is one day at a time, that's for sure. Keep up the good work! It seems like we grow closer to the ones that need special care. Be well!

My scale is in grams so maybe soon. (hope)

You might try tongs on the worms.
