Rescue baby just doesn't seem to be getting bigger

deetu Oct 02, 2004 03:36 PM

I brought the other two back to work but I kept the little one to get extra care still. The two have gotten bigger and will have no problems but she (I'm not sure it's a she but since it is so tiny, I've started calling it her) just seems to be so...tiny. She will only eat a few crickets a day, not more then 5. I dust the crickets.

She is pooping fine. On paper towels. I've increase the heat since it is starting to get cool here. I mist her twice a day but never see her lick her lips and she will not lick liquid food off her nose.(the lip healed fine. You could never tell it had been torn from her jaw. Still feel bad about that)Bath her every other day.

Why is she not getting bigger? Do you think she may always be small because she almost died before I took her home?
