Well its about time too, November she stopped eating! Last night I decided to try her with a wax moth (leftover moth from waxworms) I held it in my fingers and held it just in front of her. The response was instant and she bit me, lol. Luckily she bit my finger nail so no pain to report. I left the moth in with her over night, just checked on her and no moth
So I decided to check if it was a fluke, popped another moth in (its OK she is quite dehydrated, needs fed to get rehydrated) and bang, no hesitation the moth was supper. So relieved, I have kept quite calm about it but inside a little bit of me was worrying. |

You can give them a water bowl but its upto them to drink and I dont think Trixie was drinking. She has had 3 moths now so is looking a much more normal shape. Going to feed her every few days for a little bit, get her back to health then she can go weekly as normal. |

Ah, congrats! Yeah, had heard they could fast for ages like royals, but like royals, always a relief to get the first fast over with, especially if they can't rehydrate without food - I'd have been worried too.
Hope this is the start of a nice fat greedy Trixie lol. |
