as some of you might know i bought a tiny bell albino a few months ago and the week i got it it was showing some eating, digesting problems.. no worms though.. well it's safe to say now that eating problems (diff killing prey) has ended and her tail is actually getting fatter!! it's been down to the bone for quite some time now. also she used to be very very skiddish but she doesnt mind the presense of my hand in her tank.. still cant touch her yet but i'm very excited.

way to go Neo! That is great improvement.
I can sympathize with you. I had a baby hatch out from a hypo male and pastel female (both their first year breeding) that was 1 gram. She is up to 3 grams now and still quite small but finally eating on her own!! Yay! She is going to be a month on the 30th.

Here she is at 1.5 grams. Almost 2 weeks old.

Personally, I'd be upping the cricket size -- I don't even feed my hatchlings pinheads, they're just too small... Try her on 1/4" at the very least...

yeah the 'pinheads' at the store are about that big cause we dont have a lot of herpers here and the crix end up growing in the store
