Hi y'all.

Firstly, moderators - please can you leave this post here for a day or so til I get a few replies as my last post got moved out & not so many people got to see & reply to it. TIA.

I have 2 Surinam RTB's & am having some general health issues:-

The female hasn't fed in a while-6 months. The male has, but his feces is loose & he's still pretty skinny. He refused a f/t rat today (left overnight). I have to leave prey in the tank as they won't feed in boxes.

My idea is feed as regularly as possible, but with smaller prey items - is this the right idea?

Secondly, I've seen pedialite & gatorade mentioned on here but in the UK we don't have them. Can some kind member please list the ingredients so I can maybe search out a comparable brand here. Can they be administered together - what are they generally used for (re-hydration?) & what ratio to water do they need to be mixed with.

Thank you all in advance, these snakes are my pride & joy & I really want to do the best I can to get them back to full health ASAP. Some of you may recall a blocked nostril in my female, good news, it's cleared up.

Jamie
