Unfortunately, our baby geckos have been sick. Ranger has been sick since we got him from Petco, and the Petco vet kept telling us he was okay so we put him with Oakey and now Oakey is sick too. :( We took them to a better vet and we will see what happens, but she said it was probably fatal crypto. We are waiting on some tests. Ranger is already pretty much on death's door.

 |
| We've had to force feed both geckos a food formula, water, and vitamin supplement each night. It takes about 30 minutes and lots of patience because the geckos hate it. |
 |
| Ranger always moves his head away and you have to be super careful how you hold them so you don't crush them. |
 |
| This is what the babies do when we set them down after force feeding them….they hide! Just make sure you don't sit on them! |
 |
| Ranger has been loving taking baths in his water bowl lately.
Bath time is good for sick geckos

| Ranger has been getting so stick thin. I feel so bad for him. We will probably put him down. |
 |
| We wanted to take a picture with our little baby Ranger before he dies/we put him to sleep. |

Dang that is sad. Too bad they can't do anything to heal them.
Dang! That makes me so sad! Ranger sure is loved! Oakey will be sad to say good bye too. Dang! I am sad to hear that things don't look good for either of them. Love you! (((hugs))) Mom
