Russian is gaining her weight back! 30 grams this month!!!

[terracolson]

So she was at 600 grams on 5/4/10

Today she is at 630 grams!! 5/18/10


After all my worries, or parasites, which were not a issue, and i gave her a good dose of vitamins, and then hand feed her 2 times a day, till she is eating on her own now!!!

It seems even if i put the food under her nose she still is off on her bites....and no it doesnt hurt when she bites, I have been bitten every meal now...lol

Might be the weight issue, but her eye sight SUXS!!

She even looks a little better...not much but some..


Before

Now

The damage on her leg was from CoCo (male Russian). He has been removed.

This is the bite i am dealing with...way off, or she requires to bite her food with her head turned to the side?

My camera is orange, and she likes orange

So good to hear! What we mother's won't do for our babies, huh?

 

[terracolson]

Yes, I am so excited she is gaining weight.. i was very worried

Good to hear. My little greeks are choosing to mow the sweet tasting Dichondra growing in their Tort Table over eating the mixed greens I buy for them. Go figure.

 

[terracolson]

I started my Leo's out on Dicondra, it taught them how to graze... I love the stuff.

I bought a big canister of it at home depot and have tons of it sprouting in the Russian pen. I hope it makes it.. they havent seen it yet, but i am sure they will

That first photo of her peering at the camera should be the one you enter in the contest.
