Hon, I commend you for trying, but how in the world does the store expect to keep that range of animals healthy with one temp environment??? You are going from forest type dwellers to semi desert and desert! I just don't see how that is doable.

Jack, yes, you can use pedialyte or one of its generics instead of water in the dropper, but I am opposed to soaking the animal in it because I have seen bad results from that. Once you get some straight fluids down them, then you can mix in either baby food puree or my favorite, ReptiAid for insectivores, and I add a touch of soy yogurt.

Once you have the temps adjusted, and they MUST be adjusted or the babies just won't thrive, then two or three dropper feedings and a few soaks should be enough and you can reintroduce crix. Continue to offer water through the dropper at least one a day.

Our collared Queen and fabulous moderator has an excellent care sheet that you might find very informative. You can find it here:

She also has a sexing guide with pics here

We wish you luck and are here for you!
