Daisy Lou passed another giant stone today, smaller than the last one and at least a 1/2" long! Lisa said when she soaked her this afternoon she said pee and chunky urates came squirting out like a little boy peeing! Gobs and gobs of it, the most we have seen yet!!! Lisa said it just kept squirting out like crazy! Yea!! Gross, but YEA!!!! I bet she will be clean as a whistle for the next xray!! Happy days!!! Yea, mineral oil! Now, I just need a good poo from the little lady! UGH!
Thanks everyone for the well wishes!
Tom ~ I'll post pictures of the hatchlings tomorrow.
thanks for the bday wish... and i am so happy that Daisy Lou is doing great.. thank you so much for being an awesome person. the way u take care of her, she couldnt be more happy
The urates that she passed today were very paste like. Kinda like room temperature cream cheese, sorry for the comparison. She is really active tonight and still has not gone to bed! Peed twice, 2 pasty urate blobs, once on me and once in her night box! The lil' stinker! I have no idea where all this pee is coming from since I NEVER see her drink. I was actually worried for awhile there that she didn't know how to drink water. I know that sounds silly but as much as Lisa and I soak her, you would think we would see her do it more than once. Few more days and then we should have some results! Can't wait!!!
My sulcata loves to drink out of the hose running.. moving water.. Ive also seen torts prefer muddy puddles.. so if its warm enough, run a hose and see if she will drink.. fluids in pee out!
Try a sprinkler, too. Mine always like to drink out of the sprinkler or off the substrate when I spray them. They always have a dish of water but something about the running water they like.
