Underweight male auriculatus *PICS*

Posted by Reptiluvr on January 19, 2003 at 19:22:33:

I got a male auriculatus from a reputable friend sometime last summer (June or July). He was doing fine but seemed to not eat much. He still doesn't eat much, no matter what I offer him. Crickets, peach and banana baby foods, fresh cut and/or mashed bananas and my secret, blueberries. The blueberries seem to interest him the most, but he just licks them a bunch. He is not very active and stays mostly on the ground. He has been like this for months. He's skinny and doesn't lose or gain weight. I've given him two treatments of Panacur and one treatment of Flagyl. After the Flagyl he became more active, but still not much of an eater. Here's a couple pics of him. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Here he is on 8/31/02


Here he is and a juvie I bought in Daytona at approx 1month old. So the juvie is now approx 6 months. Pic was taken yesterday


Here he is alone by a measuring tape yesterday.

What do you guys think?
