She ate some baby food and is going to the bathroom. There is absolutely NO intrest in mealworms. Ive tried everything. Back to crickets tonight... I really hope she starts eating soon.

Heres an update, her color is good her eyes are clear she just shed real well and ate skin (ate 90%) she licks baby food off her lips but not real interested. She goes to the bathroom daily, two days ago was just pee and goop (like snot) lastnight
and today it was the baby food. Temps are good etc Im not giving up but Im really concerned here. Her tail and body look thinner but she hasnt really eatin in 4 days...

Anyone ever had to deal with worms? If so, does any of this sound familiar?

I could be wrong, but I doubt she's thinner and shedding. Shedding is usually a very good sign. I believe it was Rick from Geckoland that told you to use small crix until she is eating normally and then switch back to the mealies...

Keep it up, everything sounds great.

Is the baby food digested or does it look like a soupy mess of urate and baby food?

AND did she poop out skin or was it digested?

Well it still looks peach with pee and I dont think she digested the skin. Looked like a soupy skin pile..

Whats that mean then?

She not digesting food she's just passing it. Could be worms and most likely is. The only other time I've seen undigested food is if the basking temps are to low. Someone else may know more but im leaning towards worms right now. I'd say get a fecal done ASAP and order some parazap.

Is her appetite just gone then till I see if its worms? Im just throwing food out trying to please her and well she just doesnt feel good. Is it possible she may like mealworms even tho she didnt eat them this time. Do mealworms carry the worms she most likely has or just from crix?

Thanks

Yes parazap kills parasites.

I'd say trying mealworms when shes eating well again she's probobly just sick and won't try something new.

As for worms either they've been incubating and are finally showing or you got a tainted batch of crix I've never heard of worms carrying worms.
