I agree, the 12 hour seems tough. I gave her another hornworm this morning with it in there. I have not tried the trash can method, with her yet. At 5pm today (it’s 1 now) it’ll have been 48 hours and that’s when they recommend I go to Boston to see about surgery. She usually sleeps around...

Sorry one more question. She needs calcium every 12 hours, I gave her the hornworm with it at noon but in 12 hours she’ll be asleep. Should I give her another hornworm with it tomrorow morning so I can give the second dose right before she goes to bed? And can I keep using hornworms or should I...

Oh I see, that makes sense. Should I get a new one for tomorrow morning? A 75w incandescent that ISNT eco?

Okay so her basking spot isn’t high enough. Only 72. Should I add another lightbulb to the fixture? I changed it not too long ago so not sure why it’s not as warm? I also just increased the temp in the room as well

@Beman thank you both. Just injected the horn worm and she ate it. Hopefully this helps her. Putting all the covers back on the enclosure and I’ll check on her in a few hours 💚

Yes, I made sure it was moist enough that the hole would stay and it is

No digging. Just basking. I want to cry I feel so defeated. I’ll try to feed her the worms now.

Heading home to check after I pick up these worms!

Okay will do. They won’t stick to my hand?

So she’s never had a hornworm before.. should I try to cut off the horn so it doesn’t injure her? They don’t have live silk worms

Ugh oh no. I’ve never given them to her before. Welp there goes $15 haha. I’ll check and see if they have either of those worms

Just bought some butter worms, going to inject the calcium in them and feed bingo. I’ll go and check on her today around noon, I haven’t checked on her yet but I think I heard her moving about the cage. Fingers crossed

Do you think I could keep her lights off but leave a low light on in the room? That way the room isn’t completely black and if she needs to see she can? She’s asleep now but in case she wakes up

Should I leave the lights on for her tonight?

Sorry for all the questions- last one.. should I turn her lights back on then?

Okay will do. She’s asleep now (it’s 8pm here), and her lights go on at 7am. Do you think that’s enough time if by noon I go in and check on her?

Okay great- I’ll skip it tomorrow morning and leave her alone. Would it also be safe to wait to check the temp until later tomorrow when I do a check in? Or should I not check the temp at all tomorrow, to try to not disturb her?

I know it’s important, I was just asking for suggestions on how to give her it. I’ve never done that before so unsure of the best way.

Does this one look ok? And should I get it tonight or do I not need it until after she lays? Ill attach the sheet they gave me for temp for her as for the calcium it’s .1ml every 12 hours. I’m not sure if I should try that tomorrow morning, or just leave her be and not disturb her? Any advice...
