Hello everyone, today i have terrible news, and i need ANYONES ideas/input.
My T. Blondi is dying i fear.
So here's the story.
I got my t. Blondi about a year and a half ago, healthy as ever, running around like crazy, eating healthy. all is well.
However, about a month ago, i changed her cage, to a bit smaller one, because my Apt complex says that the cage is to big. so i put her in the new one, all is well for about 3 weeks.
Sunday night I returned from hunting, i was gone since Thursday, i noticed she was in her burrow, kinda balled up, i figured she was just chilling, not doing to much. so i let it go, today, i return from work, and i see her with all of her legs balled up underneath her, in the middle of the cage. as i approached her i think she could tell something was coming at her, and that's when my heart was broken.
She struggled so hard to uncurl her legs and walk away. as she did so, she was tripping over her own body, as if she was too weak to go on. after struggling for about 2 mins to go about 2 feet in distance, she finally collapsed in the corner, curling her legs back under her.
after panicking and trying to diagnose the problem, i reptifoggered the cage. when my roommate got home, i asked if he had fogged the cage each day while i was gone.
he "forgot"
that was for only 4.5/5 days without moisture.
I dont really think this is the problem. but at the same time, ive never, not fogged the cage every day. or for that long for that matter.
The only other thing, that worried me that it could be, was that there was mold in a corner that i had missed removing, had not noticed it until i switched cages.
However that was a month ago.
could mold even be a factor a month later?
i dont know guys, the care i have for this great girl, (Zenia) is all standard and by the book.
but these two things really bother me.
PLEASE anyone with any input with saving her, or help, or ideas. speak up, im trusting arachnoboards to help me with this problem. because you guys have helped me in the past. anything helps,
I don't think she has much time.
Thank you.
