    Re: Brought home a severely underweight BP baby. Please help me get her back on track

    I went to the reptile store near me to get a live fuzzy. The guy who worked there was a real know it all. I was trying to explain my situation (hey, another opinion couldn't hurt) and he cut me off every 5 words to tell me what I should be doing and talked down to me like I was 10. Asked if I was sure it wasn't just stuck shed, I showed him the picture of her I posted at the beginning of the thread and he goes, "She looks fine, that's just a little stuck shed." In that condescending tone. I didn't really ever even get to finish what I was saying because he tossed two live fuzzies in a bag and said "here, drop these on top of her and leave the room. She'll eat." and I didn't really want to keep talking to him much, so I took them and left. (One went to my adult Argus, since I didn't need two). Not that this is relevant, it was just really frustrating to be talked to like that.

    I put it in the tank at night before I went to sleep. Lights off, making as little noise as possible. I did stay for a few seconds to watch, and the little thing crawled right into her hide and crawled over her, and she didn't react. I did get up to pee an hour and a half later and peeked and the poor fuzzy was still crawling around in there. But, when I woke up, it was gone - so I have to assume in the middle of the night when she was sure it was safe and quiet she decided to eat.

    Now, if she can just keep that up, that would be great!
    After a day or so I'd check in ever nook and cranny in the viv and under the substrate .. if you didn't actually see him eat it ..
    Especially if you notice a pungent smell ...
