Seems to be bouncing back again.

This girl is a champ. She was my very last rescue. She was a bit beat up, had an RI and way too many protozoa coursing her system, underweight, stuck sheds.....just all sorts of little things that needed tending to.

It took several months, but she was bouncing back nicely. Then My work schedule had me away from home for a few days, and as luck would have it, her T stat went into error mode and shut off. So she got to freeze for a whole weekend, and relapsed her RI.

I think I got her back to about where she should be now though. She's a great looking animal. Fully mature. I may just have to look into a male for her this year.




Oh yeah, she likes her rats a bunch. She acts like she never ate before, even after 9 months of steady meals.

Thanks for looking
Rick

I know what you mean about, if it isn't one thing... it's another right? Looks like she's doing good now... healthy looking, nice body weight...
Wish I had the money to bribe you for her I've got a lil' orange fellow that would think she's a hottie!
Glad you found her and spiffed her up, I bet she's a lot happier now!

Sometimes feces does occur.

I got me another Herpstat Pro to remedy the problem. Eventually, I'll have JUST herpstat products. I really like these things so far.

Thanks for the reply!
