Great to hear he getting better! Just a quick question too if that's ok? Is he eating with his mouth or his tongue? Are you syringe feeding him?

Well spike is now home for recovery. We have been given some carnivore food to feed him with a syringe for a couple of days to give his tongue a bit of time to recover and then we can offer him small crickets and see how he gets on. Vet suggested adding the calcium powder to the mistings as...

Well latest from today is he has managed to keep his tongue in place for quite a while so they going to see how it goes. They are reluctant to amputate with him being so young so may be coming home for recovery and see how he can manage. If necessary may still get removed

Brilliant thanks again

Thanks! Roughly how many bugs you think? Can you freeze some? Is it a mix or worms and crickets? How much calcium

I'm struggling to search on this site. Could seine point me in the right direction for what to put in to make bug juice just so I'm prepared for when I get him back from the vets please

Thanks will let you know how he gets on

I have a kinyonga boehmae who is about 5/6 month old. When we first got him we were told loads of wrong info off the pet shop and nearly cooked him. He was really ill so we took him to the vets and it was all down to the temperatures being way too high. Since joining the forum I have also found...

May be totally wrong as I'm new to all this I have a kinyonga and mine did the same took it too the vets and the temp was too hot in the viv. May not be the same for you but good luck. Pet shop we got him from have us totally wrong info about all my questions vet really helped
