As you probably know my 2 boys past away. They probably fell off from too high and couldn't survive the trauma. Now I have this little girl that I rescued by climbing in the tree. Now when I feed her she goes into some kind of trance she keep sucking even tho there is nothing and her eyes roll out which scare me. Any advice or is it normal ?

Thanks

Yup. They call it "guppy mouth" on here - I used to call it "The Formula Zone" with appropriate music. Stop pushing the formula out of the syringe when they start - I have heard if you wiggle the syringe from side-to-side it will snap them back to reality; I used to tap it on top of my boy's head.
