It's kinda funny in a mean way. I have to give him drops of water then the meds and he doesn't trust the syringe with water after that for a bit lol

I I just wasn't patient enough

All good anyway. He's eating the hornworms

Ya wasn't really gonna pry his mouth open. The vet said I'd have to for the meds till he got used to it and showed me the "safest" way but he's good at just taking them now. That was a worst case scenario just so he could realize its food but he's eating anyway so all good. His temp during the...

Gotcha, I had forgotten his meds probably had part in his sleeping a lot. The anti-inflammatory does cause drowsiness so it honestly might just be that. I'm going to hope so but I won't handle him unless I need to

(The toy which was actually just going to be a couple sticks or something laying on the ground to kind of maneuver with was because I figured he must be bored but ya I guess they aren't exactly exciting)

One thing I didn't think of is with the anti-Inflammatory it does cause drowsiness. He got his last dose of it today so he may perk up in the next few days off of it. It could just be that. Hopefully it is...

Just got him set up with the dripper and all. He's had his meds and I put in a couple sad crickets and hornworms for food. I'll leave him be and see how he does. Now I feel extra bad. I thought he was doing better. He's more active and such but without vines to climb around on he just seems to...

I do appreciate even the bad news. It's good to know what to look for whether happy or sad news. He has been napping a lot but there's also nothing for him to do. Maybe I should put little toys or something in there just for him to mess with?

Would it be the circumference or length of hornworm? Lol thought about that after but don't want to bother him just after he ate.

I kinda thought cutting them was a bad move :/ I might just have to go to another store. The ones there were even bigger

Oh...well now I'm just sad. I try to only take him out for meds and water but sometimes it takes a while and he'll nap in between. I thought it was mostly because I'm warm and hair looks kinda like vines to hide in killin my happy buzz here. I gave him the smallest one. These others are fairly...

HE'S EATING THE HORNWORM! WOOT. HE JUST NEEDED SOME PRIVACY! I AM PROBABLY WAY TOO EXCITED ABOUT IT BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO STARVE HIMSELF

Gah! I forgot to get a plant to go with it. The dripper came in and setting it up now but I had to go to the pet store since the black fly larvae were dead upon arrival. He's not going for the hornworms or legless crickets but I think he just needs some time with it. Maybe I could pry his mouth...

Oops nevermind on removing horn. I forgot they are soft..I even used to raise them for a garden....I feel dumb. Still going to cut the larger ones though. His head just seems so small in comparison

So, the hornworms I got are fairly big. Would it be wise to cut them in half? And do I need to cut off the horn? Black fly larvae were all dead so I went to get crickets and will just have to...de-leg them

I really hope this little guy doesn't quit on me. I'm scheduling a follow up appointment to see about an iv and if he needs to up dosage on vitamins. He's been staying plenty warm at least and I'm getting different food for him today so hopefully he'll eat again. Doing fairly well for the shape...

If I can find it beeswax sounds like a good temp solution at least. Thanks for the idea

So very tempted

Even with going near his eyes? I'm probably just paranoid. An eye injury on top of everything would just break my heart but honestly the only way I could really prevent it is to make tiny mittens lol
