Toothless and Astrix photos :)
Haven't posted on here in a while, so thought I would put up some pics of Toothless and Astrix  .
Toothless turned 2 this year, and Astrix is 1 (just got her, so don't mind the horrid body condition, she's slowly improving).
Enjoy!
Astrix- 7 inches SV
Toothless- approx. 3.5 feet

Really hope so Wayne  . I can see it taking a good while though as he/ she has almost no muscle mass or fat. She's eating fine now, but between digestion and a bit of diarrhea it's a struggle to keep her hydrated. The vet did say that her bowels will take a while to start working properly- guess that's what happens when you go many months without food  . Also hoping to see some growth once she gains some weight. She's got a lot of catching up to do.

I was finally able to find some trout worms this weekend, and she absolutely loves them . Should I maybe keep her on just the worms for a bit until her tummy settles down? She loves the crickets and hoppers, but maybe they are not the best for her at the moment...

Re: Toothless and Astrix photos :)
crickets are not too hard to digest, hoppers a bit more difficult, Worms also have a decent calcium content.

I guess I'll hold off on the hoppers for a bit then until her tummy settles. Nice to know about the calcium content of the worms- I did not know this. They'll be good for her MBD .

Re: Toothless and Astrix photos :)
Toothless looks great, and Astrix seems very happy! I'm sure he'll look better in no time.

Re: Toothless and Astrix photos :)
I certainly hope so . She's got a long way to go, but is a fighter.
A few more pics tonight after her feeding. She was still looking dehydrated this evening, so I decided to start back up the feedings until she's pooing normally.
Also rubbed some olive oil on her tonight as her belly is starting to peel and there's a few layers of shed that need to come off.

Re: Toothless and Astrix photos :)
Just wanted to update and let everyone that doesn't already know that this will probably be Astrix's last night. She's going downhill fast and I don't think she'll make it until tomorrow. She fought so hard, but I think her health problems and starvation are just too much for her little body to fight  . Hoping she'll bounce back, but knowing I'll be wishing her a safe trip over the rainbow bridge in the next few hours  .

Re: Toothless and Astrix photos :)
I'm sorry for your loss. it's horrible losing an animal, especially if you tried so hard to save her.
