Sick FBT. Update and a few questions

[MegSeig]

Unfortunately I cant answer anynof the medical questions. Although I would think if she is improving with the melafix treatments, then continue it for as long as possible, ie. Until she improves no further.

She may be off her food due the being moved to a new enclosure and being a little stressed. To my knowledge mealworms have much harder exoskeletons to crickets. A crickets body, especially when small enough for FBT'S actually has a very soft body.

Can you feed the superworms or mealworms to birds? I had a load of crickets in my last tub which were to big so I saved them and fed them to the chickens at work ...

Oh wow! I didn't even think of chickens. I have three. They'd love these worms.

So really, all I need to know now is how long to keep giving her the melafix water and how much longer to quarantine her. Also, why haven't her eyes gone back to normal color? They look black, not the usual goldish color. But she does not appear to be blind.


She was very perky today and climbing around.
