That is great! Yeah, reptiles can be starting to get dehydrated and still produce urates, but the longer they go without eating, the more dehydrated they become. Then it all becomes a vicious cycle. I always start with hydration, then move back toward nutrition.


Does your pet store sell Flukers ReptiAid insectivore hand feeding formula? If so, you might try mixing up a little of that. Mix it on the thin side and offer it to them by dropper. It has a nutrition boost and an appetite stimulant. I find that a few feedings of that really helps kick in their appetite.

keep us posted!
