In Hand Feeding

Beaker30 Jun 30, 2009 11:12 PM

I originally thought I was going to lose this little girl. She regurged several times as a neonate, and got down to skin and bones. I had to keep restarting with pinkie parts and working her slowly back up. But this little girl has a strong will to survive. She has always eagerly taken whatever I have presented her with. She just initially had problems keeping her meals down. She has now taken over a dozen F/T large pinks without a problem and is growing fast. I held her so much working with her that she now feels comfortable enough to eat her pinky right in my hand:

Nice job Craig! Must have been a difficult process to get her where she is now.

Congrats on saving her Craig. I had a 2008 greeri and a 2008 pyro (both females) that tried their best to starve to death. They both eventually made the choice to live. Makes you feel like you accomplished something!
