The new Ornate Boxie ate 1/3 of a Superworm last night with little coaxing!

Just got in 3 domestic rabbit pinkies, freezing cold and in very poor shape. Only 1 of 3 has a noticeable suckling response, but all three produced pitiful squeaks when I rubbed them to warm them. Got a little Esbilac milk into all three of them, but as bad as they are, I'll be surprised if any are living at the day's end. Rabbit handraising...not my forte but I'll give it a go

Quick turtle foot update before I try to sleep(yeah, right): Swelling has gone down considerably, mobility is beginning to return, able to debride some of the thickened dead tissue around the opening of the hole. Dead bots removed(2). Oozing has reduced, still some black nastiness upon flushing but much better than it was, same with the odor. Also I was able to get her to begrudgingly take some soaked dog food assist-fed tonight. She is still not moving around much and has her eyes closed most of the time, but some good news to report still.

Will upload some photos of the new box turtle with the gangrenous foot/leg when I clean her wounds. It will be pretty gory...

Progress! The emaciated Bullsnake took two fuzzies after throwing up it's previous meal, and Cy the Dragon's eyes look relatively good!!

Pics to come of my newest fosters, 3 beautiful bullsnakes, one of which is going to take some serious work putting weight on. Fortunately, it already wolfed down 2 frozen mice, but it has a ways to go.

Albums to be created today, remembering Merle the forgotten dragon and Queenie the box turtle, Rivenn, and LittleBird's story.
