When to assist feed?

[Jolecerve]

Well I hope the vet can figure out what is wrong with Lucy and not try and rip you off. My first Albino boy died from starving himself to death, Vet told me nothing was wrong with him.

So I guess he died from stress/starvation, ever since this even after having BPS for over 2 years I get freaked out when they don't wanna eat.


Also you said this is a class room pet? Are you a biology or science teacher? Either way its really cool that you are teaching the young how reptiles deserve to be pets to!

Sorry to hear about your albino you should be able to rely on your vets to help your babies unfortunately things like that happen more often than they should...

I hope so too, I was told that the vet I am going to see actually keeps BP's as pets and is very Knowledgeable.

I wish I was the teacher unfortunately not, I purchased her from teachers. I do however have 3 children who are reptile lovers and if I ever start breeding BP's would love to see one or more of my babies as a classroom pet in the local schools.
Lucy and about 8 other babies were purchased by the teachers who are chameleon breeders, they keep them for a very short period of time to allow the children to interact and hold them then sell them at the reptile shows with there chameleon's.

Unfortunately they are not very Knowlegeable about BP's and told me such when I purchased her. They were feeding them 1 fuzzy mouse a week which is what led to her
being underweight when I got her. I don't want to overstep but have thought about contacting them again to let them know that they need to be feeding them at least a hopper mouse once a week. I would have thought being teachers they would have done there research before keeping that many babies and then selling them.
I probably should have not purchased her Knowing that they didn't know how to properly care for her but for only $25 I couldn't pass her by she is such a pretty little thing and I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her.
I just hope the trip to the vet tomorrow will be enough to help her...
