Dear all,
I'm kind of worried that my A. geniculata is dying on me. This is what happend so far:
About 2 weeks ago she ate a big fat cricket. After that she just sat on top of her burrow. Upon closer inspection she was moving her legs very slowly. I asked for advice on a dutch tarantula forum and they told me iT was probably in premolt. And so she was.
About a week later she molted. But here behaviour stayed the same. Just sitting still and moving her legs a little. No response to me what so ever. Not even when I brushed her butt.
After 2 days still No improvement so I took her into an ICU. There I noticed 1 rear leg that was a lot smaller, Im pretty sure it didnt molt.
She has been in there for 3 days now, things seem to get worse. She cant even hold on to the papertowel anymore and stopped moving at all. She is still a juvenile and a confirmed female.
Anything I can do? Leave her in the icu? Im Really worried!
Thanks!
Best regards,
Louis
