Yes. I took the white out because it is only the white that contains the avidin(did i spell it right? ) which i was told is harmful to them.

U lucky zilla still down also have u heardv from dubya

from Samsung Galaxy S3

The avidin isn't that harmful. That info is totally overrated.

 

[BatGirl1]

Oh really laura? I was told by several people not to give raw egg. Then told it was only the white that could not be given raw. I guess just like everything else, we live and we learn. Right? and you are a smart lady, so I trust you <3

 

[laurarfl]

It takes a lot of avidin from raw eggs to break down the biotin. That's the concern with avidin....that it would cause a biotin deficiency. But if you supplement with multivitamins and aren't feeding a predominantly raw egg diet, then you are good.

OH, my little teeny baby is up and ate today! yaaaay

 

[BatGirl1]

Awesome laura!!! Yaaaay! niles keeps waking up at night. Weirdo. Basking on his rock last night with the flood lights OFF... eh. Strange one. And I don't think he touched the egg yolk last night. But at least he's getting up now 3 nights in a row. I'm thankful for that :/

 

[BatGirl1]

He's up again! Hasn't eaten but basking a lot. Oh and does hibernation do something to them? Because he seems less like his old self.meaning i petted him and he ran under his hide he's never done that to me before

 

[Diablo]

Yoshi came up a day ago ate and hasn't been back up since

Sent from my DROID RAZR

 

[laurarfl]

Sometimes it's like starting over with a little one.

 

[BatGirl1]

He's 18 in. Is that considered little? :/ i miss my snuggly niles <3

 

[laurarfl]

I mean if they go down young

 

[BatGirl1]

Yeah. He's acting sooo weird. Today i tried to feed him. Refused.and instead of snuggling with me he acted like he didn't trust me. Kept trying to run, like I literally had to grab his tail a couple times to keep him from landing on the floor. He has never acted this way before

Try to avoid grabbing him by his tail

 

[BatGirl1]

Ok wiseguy...haha and yes i never do.i always let him walk onto my hand, never grab him. However, he shot like a little rocket off my palm and almost landed on the floor so i used his tail to slow him down then put him back in his enclosure. Oh! Good news! Today he did eat some chicken dipped in yolk for me! I tong fed it to him and he's been up snuggling with his alligator a lot today <3 cutest ever. [attachment=6682][attachment=6683]

 

[Skeetzy]

Ink popped his head out today for the first time in almost 7 months. I offered him some water which he sat drinking for awhile. Didn't explore too far from his cave before disappearing. I have all day off tomorrow, so I'll be keeping an eye out for him

 

[laurarfl]

Mine has been eating and I've been handling him again. He's soooo tiny.

 

[Deac77]

Kirby's still up and going! Also Laura he's waiting on pics of his brother/sister

 

[BatGirl1]
