At the reptile sanctuary, there is this small albino Burm, about a foot and a half to two feet long, that is fairly skinny and won't eat for me. I fed the baby Burms last week and this week. This baby did not take anything that was given. Keep in mind these baby Burms came from the Texas seizure.
I tried F/T, live, and assist feeding but he isn't taking anything. I asked to take him home to see if I can get him to start eating, and they said I could try and see what happens. So I set him up in a 15qt tub.
Originally he was in a 34qt with another Burm which had a lot of room so I'm guessing a large amount of stress has to be in this. His temps are about 88F on the warm end. He's got a UTH with a thermostat and I'm reading the temps off of a digital thermometer. I have him on cypress mulch with a fair sized water dish he can fit into and a hide he can curl up in. His humidity is about 60%+.
So, I don't normally ask for help on problem feeders because I've been through that and know what to do, but this is a bit extreme. I assume it might die, but I'll always give it a try and see if I can help this little guy. I won't be keeping him at all so you all know.
I'll be keeping his weight written down weekly. I haven't recorded it yet but I will in the next few days. He is also a little hisser, very cute LOL.
