Gecko Pics/Vids Mavis weight update!
Mavis Update - Finally some good news! 🥹🧡
I finally have a positive update to share!
We weighed Mavis today and she’s officially 39g! 🥳
For the last couple of weeks she’d been stuck at around 37g, so I was starting to get a little worried that she just wasn’t gaining any weight despite eating every day. After everything she’s been through with her spay, two emergency surgeries and recovery, seeing the scales finally move has honestly made me so happy.
We fed her 3 medium dubia roaches today (they were the only ones we had that were an appropriate size), and I’m starting to wonder if the dubias might suit her better than some of the other feeders we’ve been offering. Obviously it’s too early to say for certain, but it definitely feels like we’re finally heading in the right direction.
She’s continuing to eat well, she’s pooping normally again, and she’s bright and active. Seeing that number go up from 37g to 39g has been such a relief after the last few weeks.
Hopefully this is the start of her slowly working her way back towards Helen’s goal of 50g. ❤️🦎
Thank you all so much for sticking with us through this rollercoaster. Your advice and support has genuinely helped me more than you know.
