If you're having any problem with your frillies, not feeding, etc. PLEASE see to it that a fecal sample is emamined by a vet. After obtaining a wonderful captive bred frillie, things went downhill fast. He stopped eating, drinking and even moving. I tried everything I could to reduce stress. Eventually moved to force feeding, I was beginning to loose hope for the little one. This continued for a couple months. Long story short, fecal sample taken to my local herp vet. He was loaded with pinworms. After treatment he is eating like a pig and thriving. Well worth the money and time at the vet.

Maybe my sxperience will help others with the common problem of "help, my frillie isn't eating!"

I've never had a problem with mine so I never took it to the vet, but I was just wondering, how much did the visit cost for you?
