I am sure that Pixie will get over it in a heart beat! (y) With respect to appetite changes, often animals will have no change at all, although sometimes mammals with very high worms burdens will actually experience a decrease in appetite. I would imagine the principle extends to reptiles as well.

Congratulations! Quite an achievement. They are adorable :):love:

Haha yes that could be, spoiled boy! When I went away on my honeymoon Flint took advantage of my poor Dad who was watching him and refused to eat anything but horned worms......then he tried to pull that on me when I got home and he went for about 6 days without eating before he gave up and...

Be careful with the medications you are using with your dogs for fleas: 1. K9 Advantix is very toxic to cats - not sure if you have any but if you are going to use it, please keep your cats out of reach of your dogs for several hours after application. This being said, it is a great option for...

I am also from Canada :) Flint has gone off crickets a couple of times, so for the last year and a half I have been alternating using crickets for 3 weeks then Phoenix worms for 1 week as a staple. He also gets silkworms, horned worms, wax worms and butter worms on the side, alternating days...

He is looking gorgeous!

I'm not sure where you got your information from but I do not believe that loss of appetite is a side effect of meloxicam. I think it's potential benefits as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic far outweigh any potential side effects at the point your girl is at right now. With decreased...

Do you measure the humidity in her enclosure?

I'm not as much of an expert as the other people who commented and I'm not saying it isn't neurological, but my reaction to the first video was that he was alarmed/afraid and was desperately looking for somewhere to hide as quickly as he could (or he got burned and was freaking out about...

I agree, I think it's a superworm beetle ;)

What a stunner. :love:

I know you say she isn't ready to lay her first clutch yet, but do you have a laying bin in her cage?

As jajeanpierre said earlier, calcium is a medication that if given at too high of a dose or too quickly can cause the heart to stop, which is why several people are recommending that a vet prescribes it to you and gives you not only the proper dose but also the proper concentration. That would...

As far as her interest in crickets goes, my panther goes through phases where he isn't interested in crickets, so I'll only offer non-cricket prey for about 2 weeks. Then I'll reintroduce crickets and he will be snatching them out of the tweezers as I'm putting them in his enclosure.

Flint drinks right from the spray bottle too, he "runs" right to the front of his enclosure when I go in there with it. He also drinks up any water that's on me after his morning shower :D:love: Great video, that is adorable!!
