Ok, we're raising silks now, but I haven't switched to feeding them full blown yet; I wanted to prepare enough stock to get a colony going before making the switch. I have fed him some a couple of days though, and noticed his poo was a little runny on the consecutive days. Defining runny: still soft poo as the 'base,' but watery around it. To test that it was possibly the diet change, I went back to solid crix (and greens, of course - no change there or in supps), for a couple days after the silks, and his poo went back to normal (moist, but firm, no liquid. I tried silks again this morning, so we'll see what the result is tomorrow morning. Oh, one difference is that the silks weren't dusted like the crix are.
Is this a normal adjustment phase with the diet change? It worried me a bit for obvious reasons, but with it going back to normal when he went back on crix... maybe my worry is premature?
The rest of the answers to what you're wondering... basking area is 110-115, ambient 85-90. He is healthy, wealthy, and wise to the naked eye, gets baths every other day or so.. 3 1/2 months old, don't know his weight, but he has fat pads and is between 12-13" long, active and curious.
We finally have pictures of him, and as soon as I get an editor that will reduce the picture size, I will post some. In the meantime, any feedback?
Thanks,
Denise
