Oh God please help. My t stirmi is dehydrated! She is kicking hairs and not curling but her abdomen is shrunk. I over flowed her water dish, saturated the substrate and peat moss, she has a heating mat on the side of the tank is there anything else I can do? I haven't checked on her in a month because her substrate still looked damp but it's all my fault, I should've reached in there and churned up the substrate and misted. She's by her water dish. I won't get her out because she scares me. But she's always been fine in her set up, hydrated an comfortable I just neglected her because I've had so much going on the past month, I had covid along with life stress. I feel like such a bad person...
I gave her a horn worm and she reacted defensive towards it shes not eating anything idk what to do, I gave her a smaller shallower dish and ive been checking on her daily. Some of the water was gone today, I filled the dish. Her substrate is moist. Temp is room temp 77 degrees humidity its between 80 and 75%. Enclosure is a plastic container with drilled holes, with 7" of eco earth and terrarium moss, heat mat has been disconnected for 5 days. This dish in the picture is the old one which was replaced. She has gut loaded crickets and the horn worm.
I've consulted with other keepers but I'm so worried that I'm reaching out to all of you. I dont know what else to do...
