they told me the guy picked out the best he could find...if that tokay was one of the best i'd hate to see what the worst looks like..

they also have the pink toe listed as 3"-4" while this one they sent looks like it was a sling a month ago.

Hope he recuperates

 

[Vicious_Fish]

Sorry they lied to you but I think you're up to the challenge of fattening them up.

 

[TheMightyOscar]

thats if they aren't riddled with parasites, tokays THAT skinny are usually filled with worms.

i'll try though.

 

[Vicious_Fish]

Very true. I'm guessing you have them quarantined in a different setup. If you get them fattened up they should be able to pass a lot of the parasites on their own. Those reptile de-wormers can be dangerous to use and if you want to breed them I'd definitely avoid using them. They can make animals sterile.

 

[TheMightyOscar]

yeah all 3 are seperated from my other 3 and in individual sterilite containers.

i've never heard that about the de-wormers, but it's good to know. we'll just have to see how they do now. i honestly don't expect the one pictured to survive, it's one of the skinniest and unhealtiest tokays i've ever seen. the other two are thin but nothing like that poor guy.

i'll keep you guys updated on their health as they (hopefilly) recover.

You can de-worm reptiles but it's really hard to know how much to give them. When you overdose is where you run into problems. But if you don't give them enough it probably won't do anything to remove the parasites.

It might help to give that really skinny one some electrolytes. If you can get it's mouth open you can spray a little Gator-ade into it.

 

[Death Pony]

That's a really thin tokay.... power feeding time.
The beardie and pink toe look amazing!

 

[Berber King]

Shouldnt be a problem getting a tokays mouth open!
