help with T

[daftperception]

OK my problem is she is hiding and never coming out and covering her door with dirt she wont eat or come out what do I do. I finally got her out and some of her hairs look white.

getting ready for a molt?

[FourFeathers]

I agree. She's probably in pre molt. Just let her be. Keep the crickets out of the enclosure, keep the water dish full of fresh water, temperatures right, humidity right, and she'll do the rest.

ok I took the crickets out and I'm just wondering if there's an easy thing you find in or outside your house to feed them they were so cheap I don't really care if they live but If I can help it I will.

do you hold T's?????

[daftperception]

Not really you look and watch what they do for example molt.

[Smulkin]

You could try those Can'O'Worms (mealworms) - or try to keep the crickets alive in a seperate cage - or refrigerate them into stasis (they seem to "thaw" back out just fine - as do waxworms).

[Jase]

yea, i'd just make sure the enclosure was free of crickets for the molt, simply because after the molt the t's are at their most vulnerable, and crickets will try to eat anything, and if they tried....they could do some harm.

I put the crickets in the frige with some lettuce I think I got them all out but they keep popin up out of no were.
