Carnivore Care

[arlo17]

Is there any way of feeding carnivore care without being able to weigh the animal? I'd like to try it with my tokay and I don't want to risk stressing him out by attempting to handle him, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't sit still on a scale...

Yes, definitely!

Add water to some powder until the Carnivore Care becomes semi-liquid. Hopefully your tokay will lick this off his lips. Otherwise you may need to use a syringe without the needle.

If the Carnivore Care feedings do not help your tokay, please seek veterinary assistance.

When you open the Carnivore Care mix up a small amount for no longer than 1 week. Keep it in a covered container in the refrigerator. Freeze the remaining Carnivore Care for up to 3 months.

Thanks! I'll definitely get him to a vet if this fails. He may not be very friendly but he's one of my babies.

Although, I believe this may help due to the fact that most of what he's taken has been offered by spoon/syringe. I know he's hungry and he'll definitely eat, I'm just hoping this will be appealing to him. I'll give it a shot as soon as I can get it.

You're welcome.

Is he captive bred?

Amazon carries Oxbow's Carnivore Care. Some vets do too.

 

[arlo17]

Yes. He was bred out of Florida, I believe.

I'm a happy camper... it arrived today and I just tried it out. He loved it. I've never seen him so enthused over food.

Thought I'd give a quick update. Though it's only been a few days, he clearly loves this stuff. This is a screenshot from a video of him eating it tonight. So far it's looking good, and he seems to be a happy boy.

It will probably be a while before I update again, so I have time to see how it goes and how his appearance changes.

May I use your photo to share when necessary? Can you share the video too?

When you add a photo, click Insert Inline and then Done. That way your photo posts right in the message instead of as a thumbnail.

 

[arlo17]

Yes, you may use the picture! Maybe it's easier than I realize, but I've been trying for a while now to attach the video without success.

Does this help?
