baby KSB's still not doing well

Posted by meretseger on March 08, 2003 at 14:46:38:

You may remember my post about 3 baby KSB's I have that wouldn't eat. One of them has eaten, gained 2 grams, and shed. As for the other 2, one is down from 8 grams to 6, and the other from 6 grams to 4. For comparison, a quarter weighs 6 grams and a nickel weighs 4 grams. Since they have respectively lost 20% and 33% of their body weight, we're getting pretty worried. We tried assist feeding pinky heads, but it didn't work. I think on Monday we're going to go to the vet and pick up some catheters and syringes for tube feeding. Does anyone else have any advice? We've tried pretty much everything we've ever heard about. Fortunately, the snakes still seem pretty active.
