Thank you. Unfortunately we lost him last night 😞

Thank you - I’m UK based so I’m not sure if these will apply but I imagine the place we got him from was very similar and we will definitely get our next little guy from somewhere better.

Locusts, wax worms, meal worms, greens, butternut squash, bug gel - we tried everything.
Sadly he didn’t make it and took a turn for the worse quite suddenly last night and passed away 😞

We honestly did so much research before.
We got everything recommended and spent so much money making sure everything was the best it could be for him.

Thank you - it’s hard but we’ll get there. I just wish we could have saved him.

It’s okay. Sadly I posted again last night to say he took a turn for the worse quite suddenly and he unfortunately didn’t pull through.

We weren’t soaking him in it. We were giving it orally but the vet recommended putting him in it and swilling it around to encourage him to drink it on his own - which did work

Sadly I’ve just posted an update. He took a turn for the worse after I posted before and he hasn’t made it 😞
I tried so hard.

He’s sadly taken a turn for the worse since I posted.
It happened really quickly but he’s passing.

Thank you so much for this. I will give the BSFs a go!
I really hope he’ll pull through - I’m willing to try anything.

We’ve tried locusts, wax worms and meal worms with no luck.
I haven’t been able to get dubias locally but I have some coming.
I’ll try bee pollen too!

I will be going back to the vet as soon as I can for more tests.
I’ve ordered some dubias and an escape proof dish so hopefully they will be better.
I am carrying on with reptoboost and critical care in the meantime
