Hi guys,
So my Vet is out of town until next week and I was just given 4 babies who all need to be nursed back to health. None of them have tails, some have half tails some have no tail at all. It looks like they were in overcrowded conditions with not as much food as they needed. So the person brought them to me because they knew that were were breeders and we have nursed a few animals back to health. So as soon as they got here they went in their own tank (quarantined) We gave the a few hides, humid hide, cool hide, water and food! 2 of them immediately ate 2 worm each one of them really had trouble eating the worm took her like 3 mins to get it down and they were very small worms. Today we went out a got them small crickets and I saw one eat one of those and now that they have had some heat 2 of them look a little better but there are to that I am a little worried about and I am not sure if I should try to feed them Marcia's slurry or wait a little longer to let them settle in to see if they will eat then. They look so small and fragile I just want to get some food into them.
I will be taking them to the vet as soon as he gets back, but until then I want to do everything possible to help them onto the road to good health!
Thanks for any help!
