Hi all,
just an update on Bubbles. She has taken to the worms like nobodies business - just loves them! But we've had to lower the water level right down so she isn't constantly floating on her head. During the cooler temperatures we had earlier this week there were actually times when her floating back legs seemed to drop, but with the really high temps the last few days she is back up again. The lower water level makes it more difficult to keep the water temp down. :-(
Anyway, aside from the water temp issues, it seems that all we can do for now is keep feeding her worms and see if she regains any movement in her tail or back legs and if she doesn't then we'll have to consider what kind of quality of life she can have. The other night when it was cool and she had just scoffed two worms and her legs weren't floating, she seemed her happy little self again, so I'm hoping when this ridiculous weather stops we'll be able to keep her happy.
