Last Thursday, a man brought a shoe box into our store. As he set it down, he said "It's dying, my son doesn't want it anymore", then ran out the doors.
Inside was the smallest "adult" Leo I've ever seen. He didn't even register on my scale.. I decided to bring him home, as that would be his best shot at survival.
The photo is from the night I brought him home. He wouldn't move unless you tried to touch him (not even to thermoregulate), no interest in food either. He has pretty severe MBD, as you can see. I got him started on repta-boost (carnivore care wasn't available locally), which he readily takes. He also loves his calcium bowl. He has already started moving around easier, and last night he actually hunted dubias! His little tail tip was wagging like crazy. It kept crawling out of his mouth, but he eventually got it down.
I've got Phoenix worms on order, but what other kind of feeders or supplements should I try? He passed urates 2 nights ago, but still waiting on poo for a fecal.
