YAY!!!! (Update on little non feeding petstore BP with mites)

Krystal19_85 Oct 10, 2004 07:36 PM

OK ... No mites anymore, been checking daily, none so far. It has been about a week since we treated her. Todat we got 2 live mice (after calling about 10 places and visiting 3-4), one more of a pinky the other was almost a fuzzy. We put the pinky in her enclosure and closed off all light. We left for a few hours and came back, nothing, she was under her paper towl and the pinkie was still there. My brother came out of the shower and looked and it was gone! We put the one that was a little bigger and more active in there and she went right for it! Even though she didn't know what she was doing and it took her over 5 minutes to get the right grip on the thing before she finally killed it, she finally ate! We will be going back and getting more untill she is up to weight and we can start giving her PK mice untill my (new today ) breeder rat gets his girlfriends and makes some extra food. Here are some pictures of her eating! We are SO exicted! We were starting to get worried as she started to get triangular shaped and getting skin folds. She will soon be fat and happy like my other BP (who also ate today, but he never refuses) and all my other pets, and past pets (including the 6 other BPs I had).

You have been more than helpful to me. I really appreciate it! Thanks for following her progress! She already looks MUCH healthier!
