Hi, I have 3 hatchlings that has a little running nose for about 15-18 days now. I've tried several things but so far nothing worked. I've given them Gentamicin Sulfate once a day for the last 2 weeks and the symptom persisted. I keep the temperature around 76-88 (night and day). Someone suggested that it might be due to lack of humidity or vitamin A and I've tried to raise the humidity a little with a cup of water in the tank and give them plenty of veggies high in vitamin A with yogurt that has mineral and vitamins added. And a vet told me that as long as they're eating fine and shows with no sign of losing weight, that should not be a concern. I've been keeping track of their weight and they seems to be gaining weight slowly. They're about Please let me know what you think.
