Hi i've just joined and wanted some advice!
I recently rescued two hermanns (male 6 and female 10) as they werent being looked after and were kept in a very small viv and never put outside.
The female seems to be pyramiding a little but is fine apart from that. But I am worried about the male. Firstly the tip of his tail is grey and hard, so I am thinking tail rot? Secondly his does not move his back legs much at all, when he walks he drags them.
Anyone any ideas what could be wrong?
They are kept in a viv at night and put in a large garden in the day and am in the process of building a tort table. They are fed mostly on grass and weeds now, though I know the lady used to feed them on alot of fruit. The food is supplemented with nutrabol.
I would also appreciate some advice on exactly what heating and light they need and when it should be on.
I will post some pics soon, thanks!
