runt of the litter
We have a crestie that we purchased from a breeder who has very healthy cresties. We purchased multiples in January and the one I am talking about was 2 weeks old at the time. Since then, the others have been gaining fantastic except the little one. She is now 4 1/2 months old and is gaining 1/2 gram per month and is now 3 1/2 grams to 4 grams. Her clutchmate is weighing in at 12 grams. We feed her daily (gargoyle gecko and baby fruit) and she has yet to eat crickets. I hand feed her (we do all our cresties) and she seems to only take about 6 licks and then refuse to eat anymore.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to see a weight gain? She is housed separately and doesn't seemed stressed when being handled.
Thanks,
Betty
