Well, it's just my luck when I am already questioning my ability to raise avic spiderlings that this happens.
I just picked up this spiderling today at the expo and his little legs are mangled. There was a moult in the lid of the enclosure, so he might have moulted on route to the show. He is missing a leg too. His fangs are still too light to feed him, but I will try to feed something soft in a couple of days.
I have already contacted the dealer and they have agreed to extend the warranty on him until he moults next, which is great of them, but I would really prefer it if I could get him through this.
I have posted photos of him and the enclosure that he is in. He is thin and not moving around very well. The other one I bought is also missing a leg, but he is doing fine and is much larger and more active. I'm not worried about the other one, this one is causing me a lot of concern.
What can I do to help him? Would moving him to a smaller enclosure help? He has trouble getting around and I don't want him to not be able to get to food or water. There is currently no water in his enclosure, but I will put him into one where I can fit a dish in it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I really want to pull him through this.
