[QUOTE="Dawn, post: 88652, member: 9259"] Well, she is starting to motor around!!!!! Last night total distance was probably about six feet. Slow... but she is moving. She can't hold her body up yet and move - she is just dragging herself along the ground. And, to get her going I have to do some physical therapy with her legs and help her to walk with my stick but after that, she moves around for awhile. Trying my best to get the freeze dried meal worms into as much of a liquefied form as possible but can't quite get it all that way. She does suck in what I give her though and the rest of the substrate I clean off her mouth afterward. I was going to create a large area on dirt for her to move in but since she is dragging herself I have decided to wait on that until she can at least walk with her body off the ground. Do you guys agree? Right now I have her walking on a brown sheet that is pretty smooth to make it easier for her. Also, being in Arizona (I'm in Tucson specifically) and our monsoons are slowing down its starting to dry out - concerned about the level of humidity she needs given this is a desert. I do have a swamp cooler here... is that enough humidity in the house or should I put a humidifier in the room? [/QUOTE]
