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???
