Ok so I went to the vet today and on the way there she pooped and peed. The poop was a good sign as she must've had one of the crickets I put in her home. The pee was yellow, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that color. Granted I've never seen her pee in jar so that I could she the color. The vet had no idea what was wrong with her and he checked her mouth by opening with a paper clip because she keeps it shut. He doesn't think there is red leg but every once in a while some red shows up on her bottom of legs when she's riled up. What can I do to make her want to open her mouth and eat? Vet said he was going to check with other vets in Wisconsin for any answers. I also had a fecal sample done which turned out parasite free (yay!)

Doctor called back and said to bump up temp so i bought new bulb 60 watt but i think i need 75 watts. He also recommend i try meal worms to stimulate her appetite. He said force feed if necessary. I feel it may be red leg but she only is red every once in a while?

I would NOT feed mealworms as they are high in chitin. Try waxworms, they are soft and easy to digest but higher in fat. Once those temps get up there (be sure to monitor humidity as higher temps can make it drop) her appetite might improve. WTFs legs can redden due to stress and hyper-activity, jumping on the glass walls/décor too.

Sorry for not replying for 4 weeks I was busy with everything going on. I gave her a week long oral treatment of 0.03 cc of baytril which definitely helped her. My mom and I force fed her crickets three times and she ate a mealworm on her on willingness. But then I had to go camping for a week so I have no clue how she ate then. Now she hasnt really eaten but that is because i re did her enclosure yesterday. Im not sure what to do, the redness is almost gone, do you think another week dosage on baytril would help?
