Obviously, this is too late to fix the problem, but I wanted to report this.
I've had this GBB sling since last October, and s/he always ate well and was great. It molted a few weeks ago. After that, it would not eat. It twitched like crazy and could not move around very well. I thought it was just being skittish. I made sure it had water and let it be. Yesterday it died.
I am at a loss for what could have happened to him/her! He was in a ventilated plastic container and then a kritter keeper. He always had a water dish. I fed him roaches I bred or mealworms from the pet store. Nothing was different for him than for any of my other slings.
Could it be pesticides drifting through the open window? I have dogs with flea and tick medicine, but they never come into my room. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want what happened to him to happen to any of my other slings.
