I thought it might give an energy boost, like I've read it has been done for jumping spiders. Dont know if it would help a tarantula though,
I will try some more superworm mush mixed with more water to thin it out, and apply the stuff to her mouth, she wont use her fangs
My 18 year old rose hair wont eat and barely drinks, and gets dehydrated very easily, so much so that I have an ICU always ready.
It also appears that her fangs arent working. Now I can pick her up, and manually drop water onto her mouthparts, sometimes it goes in, but very little. Tried...
Ac unit might have been part of the problem, its off now, has been for a couple weeks, of course I have electric furnace to watch out for its drying effects too now
I have coco fiber in her original enclosure, and wet some of it by the water dish, and usually she would be fine, If it started to get dry in there, she would go sit over the moist substrate, or take a drink or a dip in the water dish. This molt snuck up on me with virtually no indication, no...
About a week ago, I went to offer crickets to my T, and discovered her with a wrinkly abdomen, I tried getting her to drink, and the put her in ICU and checked on her hourly, gradually she improved over the day, and I was able to return her to her original enclosure.
For a week I kept humidity...
It's more like 3 weeks that she has been eating , and she's about 4.5 inches in legspan.
This spider once ate nearly 40 crickets in little over 2 months, she will eat like a garbage truck, then stop for weeks sometimes months.
My rosea has been eating voraciously since the 2 weeks after a molt. She has probably eaten more than a dozen crickets in the course of a few weeks. What I haven't seen yet is copious amounts of T poo. :O_o:
Now this being a rosea, I'd expect everything to happen more slowly, but does anyone...
Mines been doing that, bum in the air, not for two days though. I wonder if she's trying to stretch the muscles that move her abdomen. My rosea and A.chalcodes like to do this , especially after a big post-molt feeding spree. Almost like they're trying to gauge how heavy their butts are --- hmm...
It comes down to the lesser of two evils, bleeding is definitely bad, the superglue might not sound so healthy, but in an emergency you do what you can with what you've got.
There is another product called liquid bandage, which also works.
Fake golfball rolled around cage.
My A.seemanni likes to use it as a "door" to her lair when she wants privacy :lol
Its not the kind full of holes, but just hollow, similar to a ping pong ball, but larger.
Hmmm, I let my rosie crawl on my bed, and have had no problems. Though I wouldnt let her on an open bed, or all over my pillow either. Imagine trying to explain "no it's not roseaca , but rosea!"
2 females, G.rosea and A.chalcodes
Heidi rose (hidey rose), cause thats what she does,and
Harriet (hairy-"it"), though she's actually kinda bald from pre-molt right now :rolleyes:
You might just be better off leaving it on there, if it isnt bothering the T, and its just a cosmetic issue. As long as the back end isnt messed up, as in the T can still "poo", it might be ok anyway, it will probably come off with its next molt.
Reviving an old thread here, but this time its "Febreeze (Febreze) Allergen reducer.
Which is also supposed to kill dust mites, and is going on my bed mattress. I kinda think its probably the same stuff, but Im not totally sure.
The concern again would be if theres "lingering fumes", the T's...
