Since moving Teal'c he's been eating better and staying warmer.

Since moving Teal'c he's been eating better and staying warmer.  Even chasing his own bugs, though rather unsuccessful at catching them.  But now he's pooping snot water.  It does have a little bit of food in there, too.  It doesn't have a smell... at least one that I can smell without putting my nose close to it (not happening).  I read that he could be really hydrated (when I pinch his skin, it goes down faster, but not as fast as mine... maybe I should pinch Teyla for comparison).  I also read that it could be because he's without a UV light.  He's only been moved for a few days, but I didn't have an extra fixture like I thought I did, so I'll be heading to PetSmart before I come home.  I have been taking him out for real sun, though.

I'm also going to put him on thicker food.  I read at that site anapsid.org to make a slurry with Hill's a/d and veggie baby food.  I think that would be more nutritious than all baby food.  If he doesn't show some serious improvement soon, we'll be heading to the vet.  After this, I will have done just about everything I can think of to get him well.  I am EXTREMELY happy that he hasn't died on me, but this is no way to live.  I almost feel like I'm torturing him, just keeping him alive, but not well.  I can't keep it up.  We need a change!
