Bloated hatchling 1 day old.
One of my super pastels hatched today so you can imagine my excitment. But.. she doesn't look quite right so I'm hoping someone can help me.
She is pretty bloated and I searched online and it looks like bloat on a hatching is normally hard belly. But from what I'm feeling it isn't hard at all. She's super squishy. Likes she's filled up with air. When gently pressing her stomach makes a noise. Anyone have an suggestions as to what might be causing it and more importantly how I can make her feel better?
I've potsted pictures. Thank you for your time.

You need to gently palpate her until it all comes out. it will be pretty nasty.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. The same thing had to be done with my adult spider. It was gross but necessary and she recovered.
I was concerned this could be somethin else entirely as I've never seen it in a hatchling before. I'm trying it as soon as I get home. Wish her luck.
