Did you ever use the jump start you mentioned in an earlier post? I'm nowhere near ready to try this, just wondering if you did and the outcome. For those that don't know the topic, my burm hasn't eaten in going on 3 months and it's frustrating.

Yep, it seems to help. But only because he's getting some nutrition. The vet I took him to suggested he may be getting old. I hope thats not the case. He would be missed a great deal. If it comes to pumping fluids/nutrition into your burm I have a link somewhere to a page with a good bit of information. Let me know, and good luck.

Could you please send it? I took Moses out yesterday and you can pinch an inch of skin away from his side nearly anywhere on his body. He doesn't seem to feel bad but he's definately slowed down. His temps are mid 80's with a low 90 hot spot and humidity stays around 66-72%. He has a hide which reaches mid 70's and he uses it allot. I starting to get concerned about him.

No problem, thought I already had.

I bought the syringe at walgreens. It's at best an unpleasent task. Neither you nor Moses are going to like it much. Any thing I can do to help give a holler. . Good luck to you both!!
