Re: Desperate measures........
She was trying to brumate.
I checked her for weight loss, and she looks fine, so......
I put her in a small enclosure with moisture and heat, and waited half an hour or so. Then I dangled a piece of fish jello at her, and she sucked it back immediately! Then ate 4 more pieces. Little bugger. Her owner is overjoyed, although still in disbelief! I'm keeping little Jane for a few weeks to fatten her up, then I see no reason why she can't go back to live with her sibling.
What a relief. What a waste of panicking!!

Re: Desperate measures........
Best to let the little one alone. You don't want the food coming back out.
I'm giving my new eater a couple of days before I even attempt to hold him.
Great news! You'll probably sleep better tonight.Steve

TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
