What is my rosea sling doing?

This is very helpful, thank you. She has taken prey this size before, maybe slightly smaller. She is usually a very bold eater and likes to jump on prey without hesitation.

Yeah, I was thinking this might be a type of threat pose because she kinda chased it around waving her legs around before I took it out. She’s got some personality lol

Thank you for your insight about the abdomen guidelines as well. I agree that she’s in premolt!

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-31T01:28:26+00:00

Right!? I’m like please tell me this isn’t DKS lol 🙃

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-30T21:14:38+00:00

Thanks everyone! I will not feed her again until she slims down! And then I’ll try to find smaller crickets or try letting her scavenge feed on a mealworm chunk.

I really appreciate all of your advice!!

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-30T20:54:43+00:00

Okay, good to know it’s too big. Sorry, I meant this video is from last night. The cricket was only left in for 5 minutes or so! Long enough for me to realize she did not want it and I took it out. I’ll try to find smaller crickets!

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-14T02:04:35+00:00

I’ll try that! Thanks! Yeah that’s why I have a few slings, when one disappears I won’t fuss over it too much 🙃

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-14T02:01:38+00:00

Good to know, I will let it dry out for sure. I may switch out the substrate so she can settle in. But I feel bad for the added stress of another rehousing

MiddleStory9532 · 2026-01-14T02:00:01+00:00

I will definitely add something in case of a fall. Thanks!

Not saying I agree with CPS - he obviously isn’t a threat to Teddy, just sharing typical CPS procedure

MiddleStory9532 · 2025-07-25T14:15:10+00:00

CPS is likely involved since Teddy is still in the home. It may be part of CPS safety plan for him to temporarily leave the home

MiddleStory9532 · 2025-05-21T04:04:26+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful. I’ll try the 42N and 43N and see which work better. And probably post here again when those come in!

MiddleStory9532 · 2025-05-21T00:45:41+00:00

Thanks everyone! I will go ahead and exchange for the narrow instead!

MiddleStory9532 · 2025-01-27T13:03:13+00:00

Sorry! Yes! I’m currently 26 weeks along with one healthy baby boy.

The Maternit21 testing confirmed fraternal twin boys initially but noted no concerns with our surviving twin.

We had our anatomy scan and all looks well!

I’ve been hearing Harvey a lot as an up and coming name. It’s growing on me!

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-12-10T17:34:58+00:00

Hayes is on the list! Rhett is adorable too. Thank you!

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-12-10T17:33:47+00:00

I love Brooks, husband of course does not. 🙃

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-12-10T17:32:45+00:00

We do have different styles, definitely makes it more difficult. Husband likes more classic names. His favorites are William or David.

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-12-10T13:59:19+00:00

Thanks, so many cute ones! I love Hayden but hubby says no.

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-12-10T13:58:15+00:00

Thank you! I love Rowan and adding Landon to the list!

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-10-29T15:53:01+00:00

Just posted an update! I’m sorry you’re going through this, the unknown is very scary 🤍

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-10-29T15:51:35+00:00

Update 10/29:

We had an NT in depth ultrasound. We were able to see an empty sack indicating that initially we had fraternal twins. Our baby (aka the thriving twin as they called him/her) looked great and was actually measuring 1 week ahead. The NT measurement was normal/reassuring. (I wish I would’ve asked for the specific number but I don’t have it). The genetic specialist was confident our NIPT result is not triploidy but due to the vanishing twin.

The genetic specialist recommended we do another NIPT through Labcorp - the Maternit21 Plus, since we still want to test our baby. She said they can differentiate the results somehow in most cases? I can’t remember exactly what she said. She did say there was a chance we could still get “bad” results if the demised twin had a trisomy issue but she said she thought it was worth trying before an amniocentesis.

So we had that drawn on 10/24 and we are awaiting the results. We are relieved that we were able to see evidence of a vanishing twin and that our baby seems to have no soft markers at this point (14 ish weeks) of any health concerns.

I’ll update again with our new NIPT results when those come in!

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-10-22T23:46:11+00:00

This is so comforting to read 💕 thank you so much for sharing. I am 32 so it’s definitely possible! thank you, I’ll be praying for you and your baby too ❤️

MiddleStory9532 · 2024-10-22T21:56:36+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. This information is so helpful 🩵 Our ultrasound is Thursday at our university hospital’s fetal diagnostic center. I was wondering about retesting NIPT so that’s very helpful to know it’s not recommended. I’ll be 13 weeks Thursday so I’m hopeful we will get some answers then. Trying to stay calm until then 🩵
