I ended up just buying the Eco Earth coconut coir stuff. More expensive but I know its safe. Everything seems to have fertilizer or some additive in it!
Hi, hubby finally made my table for my cherries! Need about 3 cu ft to fill it. Cant find just dirt. Have been using coco coir, but expensive for large amount. Saw Ecoscraps- listed as coir, friut/veggie compost? Heard of this??
Under the light is flat, nothing to trip or climb on. I dont know that she was tipped but its the only thing I can come up with. She was not out yet when I left for work, at lunch time she was on her back so it only could have been 4ish hours under the light. The next day she was also on her...
Allegraf- There is a tiny jade plant in with them, they seem to trample it more than eat it. The only other new foods this month are opuntia- they dont really like it, and Mazuri- which they love!!
I am going to call about cremation tomorrow. I used the 'clay paws' kit to make a shell impression, turned out very nice
I'm glad this forum is available , even my husband doesn't understand why I'm so upset.
Thanks everyone! I did take x rays, but not real certain on interpretation. It looks like her left lung collapsed or some pneumonia. But can't be certain it isn't post mortem changes.
I wish I would've done xrays last week.
And what does one do with a deceased hatchling? I dont really want to...
It was 2 weeks ago that she was flipped twice, once under the light and once in the moist hide. She was never quite right after that. She had always been very active, ate well. Consistently gaining weight until about 2 weeks ago. The foamy thing happened during her soak, she tucked her head in...
I dont know what happened to my girl, she went very quickly. I posted last week that I thought she might have respiratory infection, but she didnt have eye/nasal discharge. Just an incident of foaming after being in tub.
I'm worried about my other 4, but they all seem fine and are either...
One of my baby cherries has that too, covers almost half of both eyes. I thought it was because she was sick (actually being bullied) but I think it was like that before. I checked a poop sample- dont know from which tort and no parasites.
I have not heard of that connection either.
Will be...
Interesting, I hadn't thought of her being bullied. She is one of my most social torts. I haven't seen bullying but I guess I may be seeing the end result.
She definitely wasn't drinking, head was tucked in rather than neck stretched and leaning down. Haven't seen any more foam around her...
