Has now lost her deformed foot.
It started to die off, so on advice from the vet, it was snipped off and cauterized. (She seemed to have no feeling in it, and VERY little blood.) She's walking around on the stump just fine though.
I'm still hand feeding her and her clutchmate. Both were between 2 and 4 grams (my scale doesn't weigh at 3 grams apparently - it jumps between 2 and 4) when I weighed them on Saturday. Nemo is blind, so she most likely will need to be hand fed for life unless when I move her into her own cage, she can figure out where the mealie bowl is by sound.
She just doesn't seem to be gaining weight or size. The clutchmate I can tell a difference in from when she hatched, but I can't on Nemo.
Aisling the Bell seems to have an appetite, just hasn't figured out where the bowl is. The room they are in may not be dark enough at night, the street light is right outside. She seems to be able to see to (well enough to make contact with the human fingers when they get to close!!!)
Since, I just fed them - I'll wait until tomorrow to weigh them again to see if Nemo is gaining any weight at all.
