Do you have carnivore care on hand?

We talked about running as much water through her as you can, hows that been going?

I don’t have any carnivore care unfortunately

she’s drinking up a storm as always but I can’t get her to eat today

Do you want some? Is there anything else you need that you think would help but are having problems getting your hands on?

Are you using the NH technique on her?

You think it would be beneficial to get it for her? I only used that stuff once and it was when Imelda was sick

yes I use the nh technique and I also hand most durning the day

 

[JoXie411]

Gurl let me know if there is any way I can help. I'll send you some plants just to make you feel better.

Just keep making me laugh I need the distraction I’m going Cuckoo over herE

I wish I had something useful to add. I'm sorry you two are going through it. Her last little photo breaks my heart, she looks so sweet. Keep it up, she is in good hands.

I think your running out of time and options. At this point all your trying to do is stabilize her and stop or at least slow the downward spiral. That’s impossible to do if she is now refusing food.

If she were mine I’d be doing everything in my power to get my hands on some Carnivore Care or Reptiboost ASAP.

However I don’t know nearly enough about Montaigne chams. Can anyone think of a reason not to try one of these options?

 

[JoXie411]

@JacksJill your my last hope. You work with little guys like this what should I do? Is carnivore care safe to give?

 

[JacksJill]

Yes you can try it in montaines. Sorry I wasn't following this thread. I will try to catch up.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

@JacksJill your my last hope.

What am I, chopped liver? Lol

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Kidding! Just trying to make you laugh! We got you!

 

[JacksJill]

Insects are a better choice I only use carnivore care as a last resort insects are better if they will eat at all.

So this is her this morning I can’t get her to eat but she’s 50/50 on responsiveness. I will keep trying throw out the day to feed her. I’m going to set up a cage outside for her get her natural light. I’m hoping since she’s wc this will help her recover? I’m just trying everything at this point

only reason I’m scared to syringe feed is I don’t want to hurt her

 

[JacksJill]

I keep it in my freezer for emergencies only. I wouldn't use it to fatten them up only to aide in recovery or as a last resort.

I've been away from the forums for a little bit, so I'm so sorry to come back to see this!

How is she with being handled? They're so small that I would worry about how well force feeding would go, depending on demeanor. Is she still drinking well?

 

[snitz427]

Did she eat well yesterday?

We are outside right now. She’s still drinking but not eating and not putting on weight. I know she’s also due to lay soon so that worries me.
This is what the pet store and the old owner claims as normal behavior. Do that look normal to y’all because it doesn’t to me

She ate two hissers and one hornworm yesterday

I was going to ask about eggs next, which are definitely a source of concern. The combined stress of import and pregnancy takes a big toll on the WC ladies. Has she shown interest in a laybin yet? How's her grip strength seem? Doesn't look like she's given up just yet

And yeah, that pet store clearly does not know much about "normal" cham behavior!

She’s not supporting her own weight, not normal.

I’ve seen her looking down but not attempt of actually going down. Her grip is still good she holds on tight while on my finger so I know she’s not given up yet.

I have her outside now and she’s drinking the water off the leaves. Any changes I should make? Yes I know it’s gorgeous
