Dried Crickets and Pedialyte/turkey baby food

corwinsfattail Feb 05, 2005 03:18 PM

How should I feed dried cricket/pedialyte mixture to her? Should I put it in a shallow container in the tank or do I hand feed it to her? Same with the turkey baby food- shallow container or hand feed? thanks

Make it a paste and hand feed it.
Has the AFT lost weight?
Whats the current weight now?

To be honest with you I dont have a scale to weigh her. Her tail actually looks a little bigger than it a couple weeks ago, and my brother seems to think she may have gotten a little longer. Her behavior is still normal and shes very alert.

Do you have a picture?
If it is gaining weight, by hand feeding, it has no need to eat on its own. If the tail is not skinny, dont hand fed it. It may take it a couple weeks to eat on its long, mabe a little longer. Fat tails use the reserve in thier tails when they dont have food.

Send the picture if you have but dont want or cant post it. mark@familyzoo.us Id like to see what kind of shape its in, it may just be lazy.
