Pets can be so stressful sometimes! Especially if there's a problem you don't know how to treat. I've spent so much time worrying about my leos! I hope your's is alright.

Ahh that sux man, Hopefully he can start gaining weight and doing a lot better. Good luck! Maybe a few wax worms?

[Emily-Fisher]

In the meantime, you should hand feed him a special diet. If you want me to tell you how and what, send me a PM. Well, all I can say is that I hope that he gets better In your hands, I'm sure that he will, though.

[The_Omen]

Are you properly guttloading your feeder bugs?
If not, then the bugs are basically empty shells of nothing special.

[Samba]

I've been through this problem. Good luck, and keep records on his food intake, type of food, etc. Keep us updated!

[Colonel SB]

Yeah he gets all sorts of incest's circkets, mealies, wax worms...Silkworms soon. They are gut loaded and dusted just to be on the safe side. Right now I am twezer feeding him everyday! I am deffinatly not going into anymore pet stores I always end up with a rescue.

Usually takes a while after de-worming for them to begin to gain weight. It takes such a toll on them that even once they start eating, it doesn't mean that they can recover 100%. But, if he is eating on it's own then that's a huge step in the right direction. Good to here he's worm free!

[Samba]

No kidding, Tim & Julie - I'm still waiting for my baby to eat on her own... and it's been well over a month since she's been dewormed. (Last day of meds was June 13, I believe). I can't get her interested no matter what, so, Colonel, be glad your guy is eating! Good luck with him!

[Colonel SB]

Well he ate on his own today yay! All I did was pinch the crickets hind legs so they couldn't jump and he ate 3 whoo hoo.

Remember that he needs to rebuild a lot of intricate little parts in that body of his. It may be a couple of weeks to several weeks before that tail starts to swell. Eating is good!
