Hello,
What type & brand of UVB are you using? Is it reptisun or a reptiglo?
As suggested, it should be on around 12 hours, & then, off for 12 hours. The heating should be on the same schedule. They do much better sleeping in total darkness.
The slurry can consist of alot of different things. The jumpstart is very effective if used properly. It is in a tube & comes in a paste. It is designed to be thinned out & used with water. Alot of people have had great success with it. A big reason that they have thrown it up is because it is so thick & it wasn't thinned out.
You can use that as a base if you desire, & thin it out with water, chicken babyfood & greens. Since you are already using roaches & mealies, just cut the mealies out right now since they are harder to digest. Stick with the roaches, & use maybe a bit of chicken or turkey babyfood, & some jumpstart if you want to try it. Some other ingredients that you can add are royal jelly, & brewer's yeast for immune system boosting. Just blend it all together & get it into a syringe & put some on the tip of her nose & hopefully she will start to lick it off of the end of her nose. If not, then, we will have to talk about other options.
Now, your calcium is it repcal, or reptical? They are different products. I just want to make sure that your calcium does NOT have phosphorus in it.
The basking temp for a dehydrated animal should not exceed 110. Anything higher will expedite dehydration & if an animal is already dehydrated that will make things worse. The first few weeks, should be spent on rehydrating her & making sure that she can handle protein. A dehydrated animal cannot handle protein very well & giving too much prematurely will lead to death because the kidneys cannot assimilate it & break it down.
Please let me know how she is doing. Thanks.
