She seemed lethargic for the last few days so i decided to try a fuzzy.
She is more active already and its only been an hour. I finally agreed to feed her a mouse a week because lets be real here the diet i can provide her only are crickets night crawlers and the occasional dubia.
I definitely will be feeding her a fuzzy mouse every week she needs the nutrition

Me too and i am going to be the one that says what i think others are not prepared to.
Brady - you are a lovely bloke and you obviously love Cassie but if you are not able to provide her with the full diet that she requires then maybe you should consider rehoming her with someone that can.
You know that her current diet isnt right so either put it right or pass her on, you have to do what is best for her. Sorry if this offends.

Hmmm its not that i cant provide a proper diet for her its because i cant find shrimp and snails like everyone else in my town. The energy cassie has from 1 fuzzy is better then what she got off crickets and worms. Trust me the care that i give to her is better than her being in a fish tank somewere else. An occational mouse does NOT hurt a sav. Daniel bennet says so and i just THINK he knows a little more than you.

I'm not going to start a Daniel Bennett arguement here, but think about this: He says they don't eat them in the wild, yet suggests feeding them. He also says they don't live in the desert in the wild. Should we keep them in desert fish tanks?
You need to fix the diet. Occasional dubia roaches aren't enough. This needs to be the staple. You don't have any aquarium stores in your area? No protected forests?
No. Ive looked for hours. I cannot find organic shrimp... i cant ffind snails for a price i can afford. i cant find more dubia as they are illegal. Im waiting for my dubia to grow. The occational rodent is not going to hurt cass. She is more energetic, and isnt so sluggish after one already, But to everyone who says i should rehome her ? like come on. Grow up

Brady, you know how we are here. We care about the animal's wellbeing and health first. Not to say that you can't be a good sav keeper... Just that Cass needs more variety in her diet than you're able to give her right now. You put Cass first- and so do we! She needs more food variety and stimulation. I know you've got this new enclosure coming in and that's absolutely great. I think you should do what's necessary to get Cass the foods she needs to nourish her and give her the energy she needs on a daily basis. We want you to succeed. But if you can't provide her with the varied diet she needs, you need to think about how you can do that or who can do it for you. It's tough, but Cass is important- to all of us. We just want to make sure she gets exactly what she needs.

A lot of people on this forum have given you suggestions as to how to help her, Brady. I know I feel like a broken record some times, as you haven't followed through. If you feel it's boredom, find some enrichment activities for her. If you think it's diet, go spend some time finding a proper diet. You can find snails for free if you look hard enough. You can buy them cheap at pet stores, garden stores, online. You can buy shrimp at grocery stores. You can order them online. Spooky showed me a website the other day that catered to monitor needs in Canada. I don't remember what it was, but perhaps she can point you in the right direction?
If You can direct me to that website i would get all of the stuff she needs. But an occasional fuzzy isnt going to hurt her! 1 a week? thats not bad. Ill look again for shrimp and snails but i need to wait for my dubia to grow.
