What a sweetie, I love the whole chin scratch thing, very endearing. And you are sure that she is a girl?

[Zoodulcis]

What fun! How many inches does he seem to add each month?

[Zoodulcis]

I agree with AB. Although removal of the substrate was plainly an excellent idea, adding calcium to his food should help him to have stronger jaw bones and more resistant to decay teeth. And indeed, thanks for letting us know!

[Zoodulcis]

He looks pretty darned alert. Have you had him long?

[Zoodulcis]

I’m guessing you don’t handle this pet very often, true?

[Zoodulcis]

She is a cutey. Have you tried any dubia roaches for her? What are you supplementing her crickets with to get such a high growth rate?

[Zoodulcis]

Wow he does look pleased. Great photo. Does he have a designated hunting area in the back yard?

[Zoodulcis]

You’re off to a strong start, but another member is already up to 11 golds. And the race is on!

Greetings,

I didn’t see any responses to your inquiry. Somehow this posting got buried and I wanted to follow up and see if Kronos is doing any better.

[Zoodulcis]

He looks pretty young. Are you measuring his growth rate with the scale on the paper?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh good, that is sufficient. An ideal combination of a pet picture and a habitat picture for member information and inspiration. Thanks!

[Zoodulcis]

No problem and I will be watching to see how you are doing 😉

[Zoodulcis]

Yep, what AB said!

Greetings Kate,

I was on vacation, but back now, hence the late response.

MBD attacks the bone and tissues of the jaw. Because he very likely was suffering from that originally and is now on a course of correction, I think it also very likely that his jaws hurt. It can take weeks for this soreness to subside. I agree that the syringe is not the long term solution, but I think you should keep at it and not expect much for at least another 4 weeks, possibly longer.

[Zoodulcis]

I’m not sure if he/she really cares whether the crickets are free or not! But I bet you do. Is this new pet a lockdown buddy or had you planned on getting one for a long time?
