    Possible problem with hatchling bp
    Hi everyone I think I may have a problem with my hatchling bp. I just recieved her from a breeder last thursday. I hadn't checked on her cause I wanted her to settle in. But i had a feeling so I checked on her today and handled her a bit and she was extremely lethargic and wasn't clicking her tongue at all. I placed her in her tub on her back and she jus layed there for 10 seconds till I picked her up. She also looks very skinny/wrinkly and has a triangular shape. I'm gonna try feeding her tommorow. Cause I weighed her today also and she's only 51grams. I feel really bad for her cause I just got her last week and feel helpless. She was a "assist feeder" until about 2 weeks before she was sent two me when she started taken mouse hoppers. If any more info can help let me know. Thanks.

    Hm..feed her and a day or two after if she eats she should perk up. I hope she gets better, even baby bp's are hardy to an extent.

    It sounds like she might be dehydrated in addition to being underweight. What is your setup like? Have you contacted the breeder you got her from? It might be a good idea to let them know you are having trouble. How many meals did she eat on her own before being sent to you?

    I've got her in a rack system with all the correct husbandry, temp. I've contacted the breeder. She's been assist fed a bunch of pinkies. But only took for meals on her own. I'm gonna try to feed her again today and hopefully she'll come around. *fingers crossed*
