My smallest rescue

Figures a week after I complained about Petco I end up being given a starving bp. This one wasn't from Petco. A friend of a friend kind of situation where they bought it at a show a month ago and it's never eaten for them. Or possibly ever? The people sounded like they were just way over handling it and had an inappropriate 10g set up so hopefully a nice quiet shoebox will get this tiny guy back on track. Actually, I don't even know what sex it is. I just did a quick weight and mite spray at my front door before pitching what it came in. Needs a fighting name!

Oh dear. So tiny. I hope he does well now that you've got him! Hugs!

Haha but I guess going with Marla for a girl wouldn't work as well?

i guess u can but i prefer the name Beyonce for a girl b/c she's a survivor.

Update: refused first fuzzy I offered and had dropped to 28g so I decided instead of waiting longer to just assist feed. I didn't have the fuzzy too far into its mouth when I set it back in its hide but I was pleasantly surprised to see it gone by morning :D I'm still wondering if it had ever eaten before the "breeder" pawned it off on the inexperienced people that gave it to me. I'll be going to a show in 2 weeks and plan to check out their table and see if I can find out.

My smallest ever survivor was 17 grams. Next in line was 32 and 34. Even the small ones have a shot, good luck!

Wanted to update that she's taken the last 2 ft meals on her own and is up over 40g! No more hanging skin on her spine :)

That's so great! She'll be a pretty little thing once she puts some more weight on.
