Update and Question

Postby bella3 » Mon Aug 20, 2012 5:02 pm

Hello everyone,
So I posted about a week to two weeks ago about Juno and her vet visit. Well I was going to take her to another vet but the noise I was hearing (knock on wood) seems to slowly be going away! In fact, I almost never hear it anymore. Juno is eating and pooping and basking regularly now. So I never did take her to another vet as she seems to be doing well.
She is so adorable and she burrows all over her tank, but it seems that she is burrowing so much that her nose gets dry! Her nose seems a little dry, it's sort of flaky. It's not extrememly noticeable or anything but I was just wondering if I should leave it or if there is something I can do to help it be less dry.
Also, I tried to cut her nails this morning. I was able to cut her back ones (thanks to Mels video on that :) ) But she keeps pulling her front ones away, and plus I'm so nervous doing this because her little toes seem so fragile! Does anyone have any tips on this?
Thanks :)

She looks in great shape,if shes basking now and eating well ect,id say shes doing fine,looks mighty fine in the pics,do the nails need trimming,if they arent to bad some coarsish rocks can help keep them worn,saves having to trim them,otherwise just persevere trying,perhaps a helper to restrain bluey making it easier to trim

Okay, thanks Richard. The back ones were longer then the front ones so I think they should be fine for now, and when I do cut them I will have someone help me. :)

I got this Aussie cream for Sammy. It's called Sorbolene. I use it on her scales once in a great while when they feel very dry. As for her nails, I trim them with a baby fingernail trimmer.

Good luck!
