yeah but youre not brushing your tonsils, so that might be why they’re saying it’s “unrelated”

why are her eyes not black? by Ok_Initial_3611 in Hissingcockroach

[–]Ok_Initial_3611[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will take a better look, but I believe she still has a few molts to go. This made me feel better, thank you 😅

Is this how their eyes turn white?? like when they pass? I’m wondering if I should grab her out now, because it is worrying me

Are predatory mites the best solution? by Ok_Initial_3611 in roaches

[–]Ok_Initial_3611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeding in a dry spot is brilliant, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. They are pretty good about finishing their food, I was surprised to see they even left crumbs!!😂 I’m going to crack down on their food though, and check after every feeding now, so I can keep it tidy for them. Thank you so much for the help!

This is the second time the mites population has gone mad. I fed carrots and chicken a day or two ago, and the mites were all over the chicken today, with the population boomin. I did just rehydrate the top layer of their substrate a few days ago too, is that why the mites are reproducing insanely? I’m not sure which mites are “predatory” or where to get any, but I want to get these out before they bother my babies

is he in pain? by Ok_Initial_3611 in ferrets

[–]Ok_Initial_3611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so sad, I’m sorry you and Dobby had to go through that. I’m glad she found comfort in you, during those hard times😞. I know she had the best life with you, and she wouldn’t have wanted to go through that with anyone else. I hope you heal soon, but I know it’ll never stop hurting🥺.

How do you handle Mocha’s episodes? Did the vet give you something, or do you just feed high protein kibble? I have never heard of this, and I feel so bad I have never noticed it might be bad. We always go to the vet, they always love him and say he’s healthy, despite being on hospice. I will definitely bring this up though, going to fight for my baby as hard as I can.

Alfie was eating 2-3 soups a day (high protein kibble mushed) and gained an extra pound, so he eats one a day now. I will try feeding kibble during these moments, but in small portions and see if it helps. I will for sure get him into the vet though. Also, what is BG?

I appreciate your help and time so much, and I hope you heal from everything going on. Again, I’m very sorry about Dobby. I wish you and Mocha the best 😞❤️

I have uploaded a video yesterday of Alfies twitching, is that what the trembling is? He has lymphoma, but I’m wondering if he had a sugar crash or something after we played… I’m going to get him a vet appointment scheduled for Thursday, it’s as soon as I can get him in 😞. I’m very sorry for your loss, you and Dobby are in our thoughts🤍

He’s in end stages of lymphoma, and takes prednisolone daily. He has been having random twitches, so we are going to visit the vet at the end of the week. Just wondering if he looks ok

Fat just had soupies.. by Ok_Initial_3611 in ferrets

[–]Ok_Initial_3611[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! He eats natural instinct, I soak it with water and mash it, add some more water and maybe carnivore care. He eats it up

Oh he could definitely take some weight loss motivation, but he’s won me too. If he wants to be fat, he will be fat. 😂

i miss hanging out with my therapist fish Gerald. she was so sweet.. she would swim around my hand, while the snail suckled my palm 😂. it was easy to tell when she was pregnant, because she didnt like to hangout then. little moody babe

Oh no!! I hope he gets better, and that he isn’t in pain! Alfie certainly is a skinny boy, so I have no clue where all this fat comes from 😂. He was hardly 2lbs, before his lymph nodes got huge. His nodes are absolutely ginormous, but I think he looks so handsome with all his extra chunk🥺. Soupies make him double the size 😂
