It sounds like you have oversupplemented her. Adult cresteds need MAYBE a calcium supplement once a week, especially if she isnt breeding.



With all those vitamins, her system is overloaded. I just heard from a friend who breeds them that they were doing the same thing you were...giving fruit mixture, crested diet, crickets, minera all, calcium with d3, repashi, ect ect... and they had 4 or 5 die from burning their insides out with vitamin A and D poisioning. She is probably in some seious pain and thus not eating.

Also, with all the calcuim, her liver is probably failing. This is what i would do to save her:



1) pick up some pedialyte. The clear stuff. And a tiny syringe (the needleless kind obviously). There are some calories in that, plus it will help to flush her system a bit. CAREFULLY open her mouth with a plastic spoon or a peice of cardboard..be care ful not to cut her or harm her jaw. (this is tricky..., but doable) when she opens her mouth wider, insert the syringe and SLOWLY give her about half.....be careful not to asperate her. Let her swallow, and breathe, and then give her a bit more. do this 2x a day.



2) in a few days of hydrating her, i would pic up something called Hill's A/D diet from your vet. It comes in a can, and you can portion it out and freeze what you dont need...

This is something for most all carnivores. I have rehabbed many an animal with this. take a small ammount and mix it with water to make a bit of a soup. Do the same with this as you did with the pedialyte, only once every other day. Make sure to go really slow when you feed her. And space it out so her system doesnt get overloaded.



This will help get some callories into her so maybe she will come back to where she was.....DO NOT ADD ANY SUPPLEMENTS TO THIS WHILE YOU TREAT HER!!!



and, when she begins to eat on her own, supplement her with calcium with D3 once a week from then on. I would try to get her onto Repashi once whe is back to normal...leave it in her tank for 2 days at a time....mix it only with water, no baby food. That is a complete diet.....if she doesnt respond to it, drop a bit on her nose and she will lick it off.
