I'm ok nervous about Harli she/he has eaten not whole lot which is normal for a new gecko. Just with everything that has happened...

I Bo the Blue tounge skink. I have 2 leopard geckos Jax and Isa. I have two viper geckos Madison and Quinn. Now Harli the African fat tailed gecko.

The classroom gecko passed away Friday of last week. I had a home lined up already.

Oh no....poor baby. I know you wanted to help it even if you weren't going to keep it.

 

[JadeIcing]

Everything for a reason. Atleast I keep telling myself that.

 

[JadeIcing]

Harli is now up to 7grams tipping at 8.

 

[JadeIcing]

Oh and Isa is up to 48. The others are the same.

[Bunny parents]

My favourite are Montana, apple ( I go crazy every time with brown bunny ) and Bo ! he has amazing colors. How stunning !

 

[JadeIcing]

Montana was an amazing bunny. We still miss her. Apple is a little princess.

 

[JadeIcing]

Ok that is it. I am going to give up if things don't turn around.

Harli has a vet visit at 4pm tomorrow.

 

[myheart]

:shock: What's happening with Harli?!!! Not eating? I thought you said the he/she gained some weight...

Good luck at the vets

Gained and went down. Going to copy and paste from the gecko forum.

Ok so I could be overreacting but we have had so much loss in our family the last year that I am paranoid. Comes with having a large animal family.

We got our AFT on October 2nd. I for the life of me can not recal from who we got s/he but do know where the paticurlar breeder was located. They said she had hatched sometime in Aug. They had a few juvi together and lots of other reptiles.

It has only been about two weeks and I do know that the first week she ate some not a huge amount but wasn't concerned since she was new. She had pooped and peed several times. The last week she seems to be eatting less. I weighed her on the 8th and she weighed 6grams. She went up to 7 and seemed to be tipping towards 8. I know not much but wanted to make sure she wasn't dropping. She was nice and round and than seemed to have lost some roundness.

Ugh I have never delt with a gecko so young so not sure what is normal for them. Not sure I want to after this I will stick to them being sub-adult to adult.

Her set-up:
UTH
Calcium w/out D3
hot/humid/cold hide being kept on carpet as of the last week. Had her on papertowels the first week. (could this bother her?)

Taking temp now but last check was 89. I mist twice a day for the tank and humid hide once every day. Should I do more or less. It isn't a huge amount just a spray on the side of the tank.

She has food at all time. She is drinking. I have watched her do that.

She also seems to open her mouth a bit. My brother was watching her and that she seemed to be staring up with her mouth open. I texted him for better details.

The open is not open all the time just sometimes.

 

[JadeIcing]

She is back down to six.

 

[JadeIcing]

Temp is at 91-93. Added a heat lamp to bring it up more.

 

[myheart]

Awe... she is so pretty!! I hope you are able to stablize her a but more.

I don't know that much about the lizard-type families, but there must be a check-list of stuff to go through like we do with the bunners. I hope you find the missing piece to make her happy again.

myheart

 

[JadeIcing]

Me too. Right now we are thinking respitory. Either way I have to at least try. In a little less than a year I lost my 3 guinea pigs, my dog Britt, Montana and Dallas. I don't think I could survive another.

 

[myheart]

Any word on how Harli is doing?
