Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I really appreciate all of your positive feedback. It means a lot to me.

Tobias gave me a scare this morning- He was ice cold and wouldn't wake up. I woke him up though, and he was good. Rock hard stomach though, so I soaked him in warm water for twenty minutes until he had a bowel movement.

Novia isn't going to give up, this girl is one fiesty little thing. I think she has a broken rib though. How can I tell? I guess I'll go look it up.

Once again, thanks so so much everyone. All of you (and a vet ) have helped to save these guys so far.

that sucks if she has a broken rib. i think i remember you saying that your UVB had crapped out or something so they were not absorbing things properly. i cannot remember though if you said the vet gave you any kind of superduper calcium for them?

Nope. Here's what I did.

-Got an 8.0 UVB bulb
-Removed the sand, replaced with paper towels.
-Mixed calcium powder and repti-vitamins into beef baby food.
-Feed them 3-6mL of baby food through a syringe per day.
-An hour of natural sunlight whenever possible.

I'm so glad you were able to revive Tobias. I hope Novia starts feeling better. It's good they're both fighters. Keep up the hard work.
