White's Trouble Eating: Stuck Tongue?

[charlamanda]

Hello again, I am sorry to hear that Ori hasn't been eating. I hope she'll be ok.
Even though I don't have enough experience to help I did have a strange episode with Baby a week or two ago. He/She was in a see through container loaded with fruit flies. Baby went to grab one on the side on the container and as his/her tongue was out with the ff on it and he/she just sat there for a few seconds, maybe even a minute. Tongue out, fruit fly on it, up against the container and then pause....it was so weird!!! He/she stayed there long enough that I brought the container over to where my mother was sitting to show her.
Baby was the one who I took in when he/she was so emaciated. Even with all the TLC and constant feeding Baby, Hoppy and Shadoobie are still very small, but still look like they are at healthy weights/size. Other than that instance I have not seen this happen again, but I don't normally sit and watch them so closely at every feeding. I think they may all have parasites, but pray they don't or at least Baby doesn't have another problem too.
I wish you and your little babies the best and keep us posted.

Thanks for the replies! We are still just as baffled as before with the non-eating. I'll call the vet tomorrow and ask about Vit. A supplementation (drop form) since we have been unable to feed her, and force-feeding is going to be out of the question. We tried to give her oral medicine last night (she, and the others, are going through a panacur de-worming treatment) and just could NOT get her mouth open. So...the idea of force-feeding makes my stomach turn. I'm just so desperate for her to eat, and completely baffled!

No other signs of sickness. She's active as ever, green, climbing all over the place. She just won't eat! And three weeks, isn't that long to not eat, especially for an adult dumpy?
