Off to a slow start

[DrAdam]

Hi everyone

I hatched an albino and an albino jungle about a month or two ago. The albino jungle was first out with the albino following two days later. I decided because they were so close age wise I would keep them together. I them founf that the Albino jungle (the eldest) wasnt eating as its cage mate had out grown her. I seperated them as soon as i noticed this but the liite one doesnt seem to have got going. To say it is probably 6 weeks old it is tiny. Do you think its just a slow starter. I have seen it eat, but it seems totally petrified of the crickets

Last night I mixed up some Cargoyle gecko diet along with vit and calcium powder and gave it some through a syringe.

It is still pooing ok. Does anyone have any ideas or do you think its just got off to a bad start and should be more patient ?

Thanks

Adam

Can we see a picture? If it is pooing, it must be eating something.

I have 22 hatchlings at the moment and a few of them are slow starters. If I'm really worried about them I spend a few nights doing some "assisted feeding" where I hold them gently in one hand and press a mealworm against the mouth. Nearly always they chow it down. Most of my slow starters have gone on to do very well.
