dehydrated?

[lysinlight87]

I think Neelix, my veiled, might be dehydrated. His urates are yellow/orange, except for the point where it joins the poop, which is white (usually it's the other way round.) His eyes don't look sunken to me.

What should I do before I go for the shower option? I mist 4 times a day at the moment, manually. Should I mist more often or for longer? He has a dripper that runs for about 6 hours during the day, should I get dripping for longer?

Mist more if you can an leave the dripper on all day an also look into feeders such as silkworms witch are great for dehydration

LOL I'm sat here watching him drink from a leaf. Little bugger, getting me all worried! I'll keep an eye on his urates & get his dripper going for longer. I have some silkworms but they're too small for him at the mo.

are butterworms good for hydration?
