Urgent husbandry help for Gecko's

[Morgan_dragon]

Some updated photo's for everyone.....

Thankyou to all that helped - these guys are now all feeding by themselves and putting on weight. Running around etc alot more, obviously alot healthier


The Ackie chasing some crix through its new tank:




The Wheelerie checking out the lens, hunting around for more and looking alot brighter:




The Strophurus looking alot better and getting ready to go into its new permanent home:




And lastly the Shaei - who is finally eating on her own

have including one of the pics taken a couple of days after we got her just for a giggle - and to show how easy it can be to force feed one



the other ones are from today looking much happier:

Apparently the Shaei is a female....am guessing will be looking for mates for both it and the Wheeleri if they pull through.

For the love of all the future animals please report this person to the authorities. They don't deserve a license!

Great to see them doing well!

How were you feeding the non-eaters initially?

All except the Ackie were force fed to start with

Lets just say it was a two person job - hubby holding them and when they arked up and opened their mouths to bite him (none had been handled either) I was putting crix down the back of their throats with tweezers. If they didnt ark up we had to get them to open their mouth...not a fun job by any means for either of us...or them.

Seriously thought about it but considering they cancelled it and we took all the animals there wasnt much point.

Great work Morgan and darring! They are looking a lot better and healthier, well done.

That shaei is stunning.

Thankyou - was alot of work but seeing them now running around healthier and happier it was definitely worth it. Wasn't sure how I was going to feel if they didnt pull through, really glad they all did. Wish the guy had gotten rid of them all sooner so there would have been more to save....
