dry tortoise shell?

I really hope she starts improving for you soon, things certainly aren’t dire yet so try not to get too overwhelmed by it, a week isn’t a crazy long time and she has been taking some bites here n there to sustain herself, I’m hoping one of the more experienced members can chime in at some point

happy update!! she ate!! i took the oil and dipped a hibiscus flower in it. i coated every surface and gave it to her. she ate the whole thing, and tried to get a bit of my finger too.

i wasn't sure how much oil that was, though it was as definitely enough to coat your average sized hibiscus flower, just enough so it wasn't dripping.

Yay that’s really good! Definitely keep persevering with offering her favourites, even if you have to keep up with hand feeding for a bit to encourage her🙂this is a positive step! She sounds like she could go for more if she tried for your finger lol

yeah definitely. only issue is the hibiscus plant only flowers so fast. should i keep giving her the oil? when should i stop? and can i add it in aloe vera? too bad i can't feed her my finger...
@Yvonne G I think you were the one with experience in mineral oil right? What do you think i should do? Thanks!

Hopefully Yvonne will get back to you soon because I’m not too sure on the oil, but I’m so glad she’s had something!
