I've been noticing the past few days that Zelda has been taking an extra long time to poop. She has had about 3-4 waxworms in the past week but not all at once. I know they are high in fat and should only been given as treats. They are her absolute favorite and she would eat them all day every...
Zelda is still doing wonderfully! She is back to (if not better) than she was before she got sick. She has been growing a lot lately. I think she must have missed some growing while she was sick so now she's catching up! lol.

Thank you, ChamFan1!!! Zelda was doing the same thing. Getting better and then worse again a few times a day for about 2 weeks. Then I got antibiotics and gave her the first dose. The next day she was dying in my hand. I swear she stopped breathing. Somehow she turned around! 2 weeks getting...
Yes, I know that! Fortunately, the crickets I get seem more interested in eating each other! (Cannibalistic Crawlies!) I also only put in a few extra free range so if she's hungry during the day she can hunt and munch.

She shot her tongue out about 3-4 inches and nailed a cricket!!!
I whooped and jumped up and down then started crying hysterically!!!
I AM SO HAPPY!!!
Thanks so much for all of your help (Especially, Jannb) and I will continue to be...
ZELDA IS STARTING A SHED!!!
That probably explains her lack of interest in the variety of critters I've been offering her! It's been 4 weeks since her last shed (and she starting not looking right to me) and she was shedding every 2-4 weeks before.
FINGERS CROSSED that she finishes her hunger...
