So update on Luna! She is doing fantastic. She just had her second shed and took a meal by herself, it was even FT! I tried live mice hoppers but she just seemed intimidated?
For a while she had this weird bug eye on the right side, and a normal eye on the left. I had hoped that it would go away with her second shed, but alas it stayed the same. After checking on her eye a few days after her second shed I assumed that her eye would just be that way forever. Today I checked on her and her eye is actually going to normal size! It's very impressive. She's seriously beautiful and now she is bright white!
She is a blue eyed leucistic, but when she was first born I noticed pinstripe markings. She may even be a super pastel. She is definitely a pastel pinstripe blue eyed leucy because the pairing was Pastel Lesser x Pasetl Lesser Pinstripe.
Anyway, although this experience has definitely opened my eyes to how difficult breeding can be and how so many things can go wrong and be terrifying all at once. I feel as though I have really grown from the experience and overall really enjoyed it. Seeing her do as well as she is doing now is a gift in its own and I really feel like every second was truly worth it.
I also came to the conclusion that there are things I can adjust on my end to prevent what happened from happening again and it's something you just learn by trial and error.
I really just want to thank everyone on this forum, because I emailed a veterinarian and the vet told me that she would probably just die. Yet here she is, doing really well for herself with the guidance the people from this forum gave me.
