Awesome job! Beautiful critter you have there.
I really hope this works. I'm so glad that one of them pulled through so well.Sub update:
She was more curled in than usual... But I Gave her a few mls of flavor-free pedialyte. We shall see what happens.
Keep ur fingers and spinnerets crossed for her!
You and me both love. I haven't come across any other outside the box far fetched wild ideas. Yet.Haven't checked on her since last night when I gave her pedialyte. I'll take a look-see when I get back home today. Really hoping she starts to show improvement!!
I had a dream last night that she flipped over on her own in the ICU (just like the murinus did)... Hoping my dream will come true!
You might try straight water for a day or two and then try the Pedialyte again. I'm not sure if a tarantula's system can be thrown out of balance but since's that's the assumption that we started this with I would take it slow with the electrolytes. Tony mentioned to me late last night that we might have watered the Pedialyte down first since we have no idea definitively how her system will handle it. I didn't text you cause I figured you were already asleep. He has a really good point though. Also, shaking? Like sugar overdose shaking in a human?So I checked on my sub today. All she could do was shake her legs. She couldn't even open her mouth to except the second dose of Pedialyte I gave her (1.5ml). It doesn't seem like she's drinking anymore. Tomorrow I will check her again and probably give her some more cricket guts. But I am sad to report that I have no exciting update for all of you following.
I needed that. Thank you my friend! Xo@MrsHaas you are doing just fine with her. Give yourself permission to be at peace. Lots of love for you, Hon.
I am going to give her water when I get home and then leave her alone for a day or two. She's clearly not dehydrated, her abdomen is not pruney or shriveled - on the contrary, it is very pump.You might try straight water for a day or two and then try the Pedialyte again.

I'm not aware of the temperature in Chicago when she was shipped - my friend said is was suuuuper hot. I believe it was in like the 70s where I live.@MrsHaas-What was the temps during shipping and what is the temp where the subfusca is being kept?
Did the other 6 Ts show any of the same symptoms or are they doing ok? What species are they?
upload to youtube or liveleak or something.Does anyone know how to post a video from a cellphone ?
It's what my Mama says to me when I'm super stressed.I needed that. Thank you my friend! Xo
This is exactly what I'm doing... As per your advice my darling @Blue Jaye I love u mama@MrsHaas i still think if she has the slightest chance of molting you must leave her alone for a bit. If you are giving her food, water every or every other day. She is fed, well hydrated at this point. Try leaving her be for a few days at least. That way she will feel comfortable trying to molt. Sorry I sound like a broken record but I really do feel you need to leave her be for longer than you are. You are doing a fine job. It's easy to over due it when your fighting to keep her alive. Relax and let her breathe for a few days.
