Yea I spent a month or so pumping meds into these guys. All the while they would not eat. I took fecals to the vet and he called saying they are just loaded with bugs. The bubbles and wheezing was no mistake either. So far I do not hear any signs of labored breathing but it is still very very early for these guys. At this point I am jumping up and down just to see them finally eat on there own. I had to assist feed all of them a few times as they were just emaciated by the time I got them and then getting all out sick. My heaviest one is 6 foot and only 375 grams. I have another that is 5 foot and 295 grams. To pit it in perspective I have 3 corns that weight more then this. It is really sad to look at in person. But then again they are now eating so I am not complaining.
