Hows everyone doing? I need some advice. I cannot figure out what is going on (if anything). I purchased a baby leopard (PP) back in May. He was hatched in March of 2019. When I brought him home, he weight 25 grams. Today (August 28) I just weigh him and he weighs 31 grams. He has barely gained any weight in the 3.5 months I have had him. He eats ALOT and is pretty active (although he does sleep a lot). I have him in a closed chamber with MVB, ceramic heat emitter, and a fluorescent UVB tube. His enclosure is 95-97 under the light, and mid 80’s at the cooler end. Humidity is usually around 75-80%. I spray and mix the mulch with water often to get humidity up. He is soaked daily (mostly) and usually defecates in the water. He eats red leaf, green leaf, romaine, spring mix, dandelion, hibiscus leaves, collard greens, watercress, and various other dark greens. I sprinkle some blended Mazuri on top of the greens every other feeding. He will not eat straight Mazuri. Why is he not growing? I do see some little white dot growth “lines” showing, but the weight does concern me. I really don’t want to spend money at the vet right now (unless it’s absolutely necessary). Could he have caught parasites somehow even though he has been in my care most his life? Does anyone have any advice? I appreciate the help in advance. Thank you!
