my third, and only remaining, baby fire skink died today.
I don't get it. from what i can find to read about them i seem to be doing the right things, but around a month old they die.

i have another clutch of eggs in teh incubator, laid on 8/2.

i fed them 2x a day, tiny mealworms, cat food, tiny crickets.
i'm going to try using a reptile multivitamin suppliment with the next batch.

they have shredded aspen to burrow in. they have a heat gradient, they have a water bowl to swim in that gets cleaned daily.

this is very upsetting! someome who has raised these little guys please help!
