Talking Waifer and how she's changed :D

it's not often I blow my own trumpet so to speak but am dead chuffed at the moment
As some know back in mid-july I took on a 'youngish' adult leo girl who was severely underweight, her head had started to get that 'sunken' look and her backbone was clearly obvious ~ she weighed 27.8g and was heavily laden with various parasites/worms, was at the 'half-asleep/eye's closed' stage, very wobbly when walking and had little appetite ~ to be honest I didn't expect her to pull through but hey there's always a chance .....

Waifer mid-july


well this morning she finally hit the 40g mark!
It may not seem much to some but watching her 'smack' the livefood and zoom around the quarentine rub to launch a deathgrip on a hopper makes it all worth while
Waifers still got a long haul to go before she's completely tiptop but we is getting there

Waifer this morning

She looks fantastic - you should be chuffed. Well worth all the effort.
