Ok, So My female fat tail will NOT put on weight
I have been feeding her 10 crickets a day for close to 3 months and her size remains the same. I realize that this oft can be a sign or parasites or worms. She seems healthy, aside from the lack of weight, and I was just wondering if anyone new of a non-prescribed treatment for worms.

Did you get my email the other day? Thought she wasn't gonna make the night. Was afraid her internal organs had shut down, but she's had two crickets in the last four days and seems to be perkin' up. Hasn't had a bowel movement in a week though. Hope she doesn't have some kind of bockage. All I can do is keep her warm and watered, and wait. Would post a pic, but she's not pretty just yet.

O-Tay, go here and click on the meds and porobiotics pic. Panacur is, technically a horse dewormer, but is used in the reptile community with great success from what I understand
