hey everyone...i thought i would just let you know that caramel passed up yet another meal... she has been in her own set up now for a week and a half and hasnt had a shot since last wednesday... internal parasites and temps arent the issue (i'm pretty sure... since she was de-wormed and has the appropriate temp gradient)... i might have to take her to a vet again soon because her weight is dropping (she was last forcefed a little over 3 weeks ago)... when i talked to him on the phone he said "assuming there is nothing i didn't see before, i'll most likely just tell you how to force-feed and hope that she starts on her own soon... i dont like having to say this but not all of these little guys are destined to make it"... i got a little sad... but he's a great vet and just keeping me prepared i guess... all the herp guys in town swear by him... so i'm sure he wont give up on her that easy and im definitely not ready to give up (i dont think i ever will be).
it's hard to know what to do because i know she needs to get used to being in her new environment but she is losing weight so i cant avoid contact...which just further stresses her out... not to mention the only reference i have is butterscotch who is a killing machine.
anywayyyy... hopefully caramel will come around.
