    He is blind in his right eye only, so that isn't so bad, I guess. He is very thin and will only eat if we hold a cricket in a pair of tweezers and force it in his mouth, but then it takes him ages to swallow. He tortures the poor things first! But at least he is eating. We are not sure if he is drinking, so we are putting him in the bath and holding the shower head over him on warm and letting him soak for about 10 mins. So fingers crossed he will be alright ;)

    Torture? I don't think that is the right word. How about go psycho and tear them apart one by one! After I put him in the bath and gave him a good soaking the baggy skin he had when he went in, was gone when he came out. So he must have needed a drink, I guess. Just looks like we have to feed him by hand from now on.

    Also looks like we need to bathe him everyday so he gets a drink. This wont be easy.
