It's been a ✨️hot minute✨️ since we've shared anything on big boi Porkchop.
Porkchop came in last July with bloody eyes, infections, and he was considerably overweight.
He also developed a weird skin rash after being introduced to substrate when his initial quarantine period ended.
He WOULD NOT eat on his own for us, and has been syringe-fed formulas and crushed insects since last year, despite trying everything we could possibly think of; trying different feeders, using different supplement brands, feeding at night, leaving insects overnight, etc, etc, etc 🫠
We could not in good conscience list him for adoption until this issue was sorted out.
But just the other night, Porkchop FINALLY, ENTHUSIASTICALLY took insects!!
This is a huge step in his progress. Sometimes you really have to be patient and let these guys do things on their own time.
Porkchop will be put back on the adoption list, but will be labeled as "Under Observation" until we know for certain his appetite is here to stay 🙏
