I have had monty since I joined this forum..
We of course "rescued" him from petco.
He had mbd and a deformed casque. He is VERY grumpy and cannot be handled much.
I have been supplementing him with vitamins every month. d3 cal 2 times a month and cal at close to every feeding..
His MBD has NOT improved and he is grumpier than ever.
I have not noticed him drinking recently when normally he will drink comfortably in front of me..
He does NOT eat as much. He sees the crickets in the corners of his enclosure which can easily be reached but never goes and gets them.
He only eats but is reluctant... when I hand feed him. I extra dust the hand fed ones to make sure he gets cal.
He is starting to fall.
He falls maybe 3 times a day now. I am very concerned.
We are in no shape to take him to a vet. Money is VERY tight
I am supplementing him right. The temps are right.
Plenty of branches. Lots of foliage!
Plenty of water 4 times a day and dry periods.
UVB and a 65 watt bulb as a heat lamp since ours broke and as far as I am concerned this is totally fine.
He is in his 4 foot cage too.
WTF monty
I really need advice guys. I am literally mimicking your guys great enclosures, habits, tricks, tips... I am very gentle with him and almost enver hold him.
I always approach from underneath to feed and stay away from him when I mist so he does not cower under leaves but sometimes I feel like he isnt getting moisture so I lightly mist him
I read the caresheets over and over and over and everything is perfect
Why isn't he healing?
