[QUOTE="Dawn, post: 92758, member: 9259"] Well, it has been awhile so I thought I would update everyone. She is definitely moving around a lot better, although still not lifting her body and walking but instead dragging it but her legs are way more active now. She still will not eat on her own though no matter how much I try to get her to. Now, granted I am trying to feed her recently deceased crickets. I cannot feed her live ones as she can't catch them and I cannot bring myself to "disable" them for her to eat. So I'm still just mushing up the dry meal worms and adding water to that. She is venturing to climb a bit now, but can't go up very far on things just yet. She freaked me out last week - it was an 8 day streak where I couldn't get her to walk at all. I thought perhaps I had fed her too much of that meal worm stuff and it had gotten stuck in her or something so I stopped that and just did water for a few days and she came back. So I'm only doing the meal worm stuff every 4th day and then in between that every other day giving her a few drops of water. But it has been almost 2 months now... not sure how much longer she can go without really eating. Now that its getting cooler outside I definitely won't be able to let her go until next summer so it looks like I need to get myself a 50 gallon tank and get her a larger enclosure. Right now she is still just walking around a spare bedroom I have on a sheet. ;) [/QUOTE]
