Stomach problems on this side of the continent

female is very skinny unhealthy, she is eating dandelion and spinach like a piggy and will drink when in bathtub or with a syringe they never had a UVB light since they got them a year ago!!! They devoured live and dead crickets. Not sure what else to do, gutloading crickets and adding calcium to the dried ones.

Yesterday i was just looking up reptile care for illnesses... The most important thing is the uv light and uvb light. Next is a good mix of greens like weeds like you are doing and the protein. It takes time for the uv lights to convert the calcium. As long as she's eating and drinking... She's on her way.

day fourteen one third of the way there.

If you have chicken eggs, day 14 means you are two thirds of the way there.

I have eggs due to hatch in 22 hours.

How long til we break this thread?

At this rate, about a week.

Tebow is in the News, Great news !!!!! We needed a nice feel good, he helped! Wife and I are watching Fox News.

Hi Pamela,

We've contacted the site hosts, Huddler, and asked them to look into the glitches we've been experiencing on the site lately and possible causes. We’re realizing that some of the problems on the site, like the homepage stats getting stuck, may be due to super long threads. To quote the technician:

"Every post adds additional linear cost, there's not really a hard cutoff. But a 150,000 post thread is always more costly than a 50,000 post thread."

Your thread, grannys gone and done it, is one of the longest on the forum at the moment, at 146,436 posts. We LOVE that our members particiapte in these, but we’re wondering if we can work together to start new threads as continuations of the old threads? I.e. start a new thread, calling it say "granny's gone and done it #2" or "granny's gone and done it… continued" and ask the participants on your thread to continue chatting with you over there? We'll keep the old thread on the forum, but we're hoping by making it (and the other yeah long threads) inactive, that the issues may get resolved.

Take care and thank you for what you do here on BYC. We love seeing our members get together like this and chat and make friends and have fun. It's awesome! It's just the technical stuff...

IMHO, it would help if when quoting, we delete parts that don't apply to our reply.

You know what curbs hunger?

Food?

I already see 26 pages, I ain't got the patience for that!

I replied to your post about the white ancona but it got lost in the move.
I used to raise anconas. They are more white when young but become black with white spots when mature.
I'm not an expert on feather genetics but keep in mind that white isn't a color but an absence of color.

They have a UV light now? Heat rocks?

I answered your question about raising crickets but it got lost in the move.
I used the gel for hydration rather than water and sand for egg laying.

Quote: Thanks, she barely moved two days ago now she is moving and eating from the dish going up to bask etc. I didnt know if I should add anything to water or not. wish I could weigh them but the postal scale wont go that low and the little scale is too little for them. She laid her first eggs in August, I will assume this really did her in so she needs to recoup from the stress of her laying as well as her bad care.

Are you guys suppose to get hit by the storms too?

Yes starting Friday rain amounts range from 1-3 inches with wind gust.
