Help with T's Injury Need Info please!
So we have kept T's of several species for over 3 years. We had a friend sell her 3 yr old curly haired B.albopilosum. two of them. It was all last minute so we put a piece of plywood in the middle substrate, sphagnum, water dish etc, as well as a mesh lid. We fed them a week after coming. Both ate well. So we came home and were horrified. One of the T's must have squeezed through the top were the mesh and wood met and pushed the mesh lid up enough to escape. I am shocked that it was able to lift that amount of weight. I feel horrible. The biggest T had the other in its fangs and there was no movement.After about a few minutes the underdog moved! So we quickly used a paintbrush to seperate them and it was still moving. We instanly checked for "blood" and found an injury to his head right next to his eyes. Possibly a tiny one on his abdomen. We baking sodaded his abdomen and placed him in ICU. I dont want to leave it with a hole in his head but dont want to hurt his eye with the corn startc or baking soda or glue etc. Any advice. How soon should I try to feed him as he ate 3 days earlier. He is in a death curl but occasionally moves to drink. Any advice would help. I am not able to get a clear pic on my cell of its injury. Thank you in advance.
