I just realized I had been writing male all this time....one typo messes me up forever. Its really the female. Well....

Just as I thought it may be forcefeed or die, she decided to eat. a small live mouse. Now hopefully there will be no regurge, last time i fed saturday, and the regurge was monday. Im hoping the Metronidazole was the key.

Now I have another question. Her defication is greenish and stringy. A friend told me the stringy part may be from dead worms?, since the Metro is a dewormer...Any idea about that, especially the green part??

thanks

Glad to hear your wlp ate, my pair is cbb so I've never had a problem with them not wanting to eat... a friend of mine had a wc and once she got it started, it was never a problem again. About the green, it might be extra bile that was produced to help with the metabolic elimination of the metranidazole. This is a bit of a guess because I don't know it's primary elimination route. It would be interesting to see if other people's animals have experienced similiar symptoms after this medication. Good luck with those guys,

she regurged again today...should the second dose of metro even help? Or should i suspect something else?

thanks
