I will post photos soon. A friend at work brought me this tiny baby RTB today. She said her daughter purchased him from a pet store on a whim for her son. Her grandson is 13. They have had him for 3 months and was told he had only eaten once during this time. He is a little guy. Might be 5 months old. Will weigh him tonight. Less than 100 grams is my guess. They did not have proper heat or humidity for him. The pet store that sold him to them did a poor job educating them on proper care. She asked me if I can get him healthy and work with them on husbandry after he is eating well and ready for them to take him back. He is skinny for sure. I have a proper setup sitting at him ready to go already warm and clean. I know basic care for RTB and had Lucy doing well before she passed away. With him being under fed I want to make sure I get him back eating but not to large of meal or many meals. I am sure after 24 hours in his new home this little guy will eat a small mouse quickly and be looking for more.
Should he be on a 4-5 day feeding schedule for now? or is 7 days ok?
He has a great personality.
