Answer to at least one question about the area where the scales looked damaged on one baby's belly ... unfortunately!
This morning I found mites in the baby concinnus' water dish!
I have read up on various sites today, and elected to try FRONTLINE for both my concinnus and also my bearded dragons, which I will treat because they were in the same room, on the same table.
Oh... my little concinnus are going to cause me big trouble now, I fear!
The babies are on paper towel, without any climbing twig, so I can clean up the enclosure very easily. However, my bearded dragon will have to have a new perch, and both tanks will be cleaned with alcohol tomorrow, another tip from a website.
I will also have to check my ordinoides adults... they were in the same room until last week!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!
The flagyl has seemed to help, as the one baby is now eating better (the other one had never stopped eating), so I hope I can save them!
