My M Robustum is losing blood from one of his legs. I don't have any super glue or powder on hand. any other household things that work to stop the bleeding or should i just run and buy something? I also have no liquid band-aid which i heard works also. Any advice is helpful!
HELP STAT! I've got a bleeder!

If your useing peat or coco fiber for substrate. Just use that. Dump some of the substrate on the wound and it'll stick and act as a clotting agent. I used the peat for my rosie that took a little fall and she was fine after the next molt. I did nothing but the peat, substrate thing and didn't mess with any glue or nail polish. Try it, it works really well.

And sticking to the "kitchen remedies"
I just last night read in Ann Webb's book The Proper Care of Tarantulas that powdered sugar works also. But not too much cause the T will turn into a "Sticky Bun" :}

ashes from a cigarette, stops the bleeding and is sterile.. I've heard of people on the dutch forum using it with succes.
