Timmy Update

Hi everyone....i just wanted to post an update on timmy.....i'm sure some of you remember my posts a few months back about him not eating.
Well around thanksgiving he finally started eating....bu he seems afraid of crickets. He'll only eat like one right when i drop them in....then he'll stay away from them.....so for awhile i had him living off of superworms and pinkies (i know it's not the best diet, but it's all he would eat.)

Well he's stopped eating again for the past week or so.....and he's not looking good....i was trying to figure out what to do.....maybe give him to a local reptile rescue place.....or find someone who wants him at just the price of shipping, or something.

I don't know.....I'm pretty sure even though the store said he was captive bred that he was wild caught.

Anyways....what does everyone think? what are some good ways to solve this problem? thanks

Could still be bruamatiom. But if hes really losing alot of weight, could also be parisites (worms) ever get a fecal done by Vet?

Anyway you may have to feed him with a dropper (baby food in jars, squash, and a good chicken and vegtable is good, can even mix some calcuim powder in with it.

I wish ya luck in getting him fattened up. Don't give up yet.
I also emailed you about it.
