    Yoy may need to assist feed her till she gains some size and aggression, bloods are usually good eaters once they get eating well because they are agrressive, I would shoot for 100grams then start seeing if she will take food with out assistance.

    I'm saying get her to a weight were she can survive and thrive without more food, they usually loose wieght really slow, expecially as soon as they are empty with no food/poop

    Wow, beautiful animals! You know what they say about runts. They turn out to be the strongest and sometimes the biggest in the long run. Watch that runt she is going to surprise you! Why don't you consider tube feedings to supplement her nutrition and calorie intake? It's easier and less stressful on her and you. Flukers makes a very good product called Repta Boost. Just a thought. Good luck. Peace. :gj:

    I figured I'd update this. Unfortunately, the little runt didn't make it. Even with feeding, it didn't seem to be digesting well or developing quite right. I decided to stop and just offer live, P/K, F/T food of different sizes regularly and see if it would come around on its own. It never showed interest. It's quite possible there was a congenital issue preventing normal growth. You win some, you lose some. I was really rooting for this little one.
