i am pretty sure she is gravid right now though.
she hates the box of dirt and sand i made for her. she came flying out of there as fast as her little toes would let her. so now since shes not eating, not even trying to dig, is growing a beer gut by the minute, and has a gorgeous shade of orange going on...she has me baffled again. as to what to do next. any ideas? maybe her vet needs to get a fatty visit. augh!! these little holders of our hearts can really be a headache sometimes...gotta love em though. worry and all.
sue3 & her (i dont wanna worry the momma) igs.

: There's probably not much you can do to get your ig to eat between now and his visit tomorrow :-(

: Let us know what info you get from your vet and what questions you might still have after the visit. There seems to be a lot of *not* eating going on right now. When I take 2 of mine for their annual visit next week, I think I will have Coolio x-rayed because of his decrease in appetite. He still eats but very little, and unless there is a drastic change, like he resumes his normal healthy appetite, he will definitely be x-rayed. In the meantime, I'm poring over all the *not* eating posts/responses, and re-reading all info I can find on diet.

: Good luck!
