News update

by viper183 @ 2008-03-22 - 16:03:35

All of Fanta's hatchlings apart from my hold back and one other have had 4 feeds now and are ready to go. As for the 2 that haven't had their 4th feed i know 1 is in shed and the other is coming up for one so more than likely down to that. I only have 2of these hatchlings available now as well so doing really well.
The male Caramel that escaped has been recaught and is back in his new hopefully escape proof viv. He is none worse the ware for his escape and was actually found back in the viv he escaped from in the first place.
I have finally posted the pic of the Water dragons mating on the site and have updated a few pages on there today.
I have had to remove my Corn morph guide however this being due to a mis understanding concerning some of the picture content on it so i decided to take it off and re-design a new sheet. How long that will take i'm not sure but due to lack of time at the moment it will probably be at least a couple of months.
Any way thats all there is to report at the moment.


 
 

Good News and not so good news.

Lets start with the good news first. The 1 hatchlling that didn't take from strike ate over night that niht so has taken it's first feed. They will all be due again on Thursday so watch this space for an update. Also i moved my solitory female Leopard Gecko in with my Established trio so hopefully she will breed with the male and produce some good babies.
Now for the not so good.
We took Fanta (mummy of the hatchlings) to the vets shortly after she took the 2nd feed and kept it down to see if what he recommended in terms of rehydrating her as although she was having luke warm baths and visully seeing her drink she still didn't appear to be getting rehydrated quick enough and i was getting severly worried. When we took her to the vets it was to keepgoing on the course of action we were taking as well as syringing a few ml of water down ourselves and he gave her a shot of saline to help the process along. He again was worried by how quick she had lost the weight and said to keep an eye on the feeding.
A few days later we gave her a feed and as usual she struck and coiled and continued to much, however the following day she brought the mouse back up. I rung the vet and took her down a day later where it was decided to euthanise her as just from the reguring of that 1 feed had undone all the work we had done and she was in a worse state than ever so so on Thursday 28th Febuary she passed away.
Since then may 2 male escape artists have got out again, we found one of them coiled up in our wardrobe but the Caramel Male is no where to be seen at the moment. I'm betting on him ending up under the stairs as whnever he has escaped before he has always been found in there be it a couple days after escaping or a month after escaping, i'm fairly certain he will turn up though.
So thats all the news at the moment. Still haven't got round to posting the pics from my previous entry on the site yet so will do that this afternoon.
