hi there guys my hatchling seems to have feet problems and i dont know what is causing this i have 3 in the one tank they are only 2 months old and i noticed 1 with a few toes missing so i have increased the food i actually thought i was feeding enough as i care so much for them this is really upsetting for me.one other one i have has all toes but 2 are going black in colour and 1 is bent a bit i have attached pics
I would take this baby to a vet. Looks like the toes probably got nipped and now are rotting. They probably need to be removed. How often are you feeding the babies, when they are that age they need a constant supply or nipped tails and toes is what you get. Are you using veggies? How big of a container, and how many babies?
I agree, if the digits are necrotic they will need to be removed before it spreads. Make a vet appointment asap.
Until then put the baby in a cage by himself and monitor his food intake.
How many babies do you have per cage?
It may be time to cut the numbers down even more, or up the feeding. Leaving a constant supply of veggies, and feeding crickets several times a day is best. You may even want to take the babies out and feed them each seperately, this way you will avoid food aggression, and also be able to monitor each babies food intake more acurately.
