Hi all,

So I just bought four new baby WTFs. They seem to be adjusting well to their new home.

However, one of the four, Skinny, is very frail looking, compared to the plump others. He also stays very low in the enclosure that houses them, and does not hop much. When he (unsure of gender, actually, but calling Skinny a him) walks, he seems clumsy and weak, and kind of erratic. It seems as though he puts arms down at strange times to help support himself.

I have literally had the little guys 3 nights, and have just noticed this. I am wondering if it could be some sort of illness. Anyone recognize this description and have any advice? He has eaten at least a few dusted crickets since I have gotten him, and actually ate his shed the night I brought him home.

Here are a few images - tried to get some while he was walking to display the awkward posture, but it was difficult to capture well.
