Animal Name:	Minnie (Rescue)
Reference Code:	Min
Species:	Crested Gecko Correlophus ciliatus
Sex:	Female
Comments:	4/21/12 I found Minnie on Craigslist. The previous owners said they couldn't get her to eat anything besides crickets and their local pet shop had shut down so they no longer had access to "cheap crickets". They were trying to feed her the crested gecko pellets but she obviously wasn't going for those .... (why are they even on the market?) Besides not having proper nutrition, she had been laying eggs! She just laid two months before!! She is at 27 grams - with a tail! My initial assessment of her appearance: bottom jaw slightly stuck out, back sunken in below rib cage, skin wrinkly, neck and rib bones jutting out, shaky, tail zig zagged, trouble walking, very weak, shed stuck on toes, bones mushy, very dehydrated. She is licking CGD off of a spoon, she rights herself when put on her back, she tries her best to move around and jump (she has a lot of fight in her), and she has very large calcium sacs. She weighs 27 grams. I can't believe this little girl laid eggs a couple of months ago. UPDATE 5/30/12 She is doing much better. She still has a long way to go but she is eating CGD on her own. I don't have to finger/spoon feed her. I put it in her enclosure and the next day, it's gone. I don't think they even tried her with CGD .... probably because it's not available locally. It has to be ordered online. What a shame. She is such a fighter and has so much spunk! When I just weighed her on the weekend, she was up to 33 grams. And she's constantly on the move now. I guess she's making up for lost time! I'll post new pics of her soon. She still doesn't look great but she looks so much better. =)
