How Do I Rehydrate my Crested

[Ultrakd]

THe one female Crested I got has sunken eyes, I was told this was because of being Dehydrated. Ive been giving her baths for like 10min 1-2 times a day each day. Is there anything else I should be doing? Also, she is in a big cage so how should I get her to eat in there? I have a food and watter dish in there and a dish with Dubia Roaches in it, but the only time i see her eat is before I give her a bath I stick a dubia roach in the container with her. Any suggestions?

offer her more bugs in the tub till she wont take anymore just to give her a boost

Ok thanks, anyone else?

consider a vet if you can't boost her back up. up the humidity/spraying and make sure she's getting proper heat and food

up the humidity/spraying

This would be my recommendation also. Keep the enclosure nice and humid, as well as plenty of clean water in her water bowl.

And remember that dehydration will kill this gecko faster than lack of food, so be sure to get her to a vet on time if she doesn't show improvement right away.

I had to hand feed my guy when I first got him because he was slightly dehydrated and refused to eat. I put CGD on a little spoon and he licks it off.

Her temp is 79 and her humidity is 61 is that ok?

i'd say temperature is a little high, but that's just me. i like keeping mine at 75ish, right in between 70 and 80.
