I just aquired a VERY thin and neglected fat-tail. When I say thin, I mean digustingly emaciated... I can see all her bones, even her spine and skull. She was dropped off at the petstore I work at, and I took her home with me to try and help her out.

She eats and drinks fine, she loves crickets, so her problem seems to be with more prior neglect than sickness.

What can I do to add some weight to this poor girl?? Will vitamin-dusted crickets and mealworms be enough, or should she be getting anything else too?

Thanks for the help in advance.
