Tinkerbell, my little edulis with the weak and misshapen lower jaw is making progress!
"She" is growing with no signs of MDB, so there isn't a lot of stress for her, being handled and so forth. A couple of days ago, I tried a few dubias on her, but she still have trouble with such flat food, so I didn't push the issue.
Last night I gave her about 7 or 8 newly molted mealworms. Usually I need to help her get them into possition and so on, using the spoon she know means food. I have tried to let her eat on her own so she can figure out how to do it, and finally it has paid off! Last night I put the mealworms in the feeding box and put the box at an incline as usual, then I had things to do with my salamanders and let Tinkerbell eat on her own. When I got back to her, maybe 5 min later, she had eaten all mealworms on her own!!!! Good girl!!! Practice has paid off!!! I'm so happy!!!
She finnished dinner with a bath as usual, and I checked to see of she had hurt her mouth, but it looked fine; too short and tounge sticking out to one side, but fine otherwise.
Question? Do they like to swim? I'm thinking of giving her the bath in a bigger container so she can get some exercise.
Another update.
I gave her a bunch of runners and she went bonkers trying to catch them. Finally I had to add some water in her feeding container so she could catch them. After feeding, she had her usual bath and this time she pooped! A nicely formed banana-shaped poop.
Now... if I could just figure out if she is a she or a he???
