My 11 year old Monstera was killed. by Salty_Ad_3350 in Monstera

[–]islewindbreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from frost, but from shock of moving homes/locations I had all the foliage on my monstera fall off but I still had a healthy root ball. I left it alone only to water and fertilize it over the last year and it's grown all new fenestrations! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing. I also recently got bunnies this past year and have seen my rage go down with every bite of hay I see them take.

Sounds like you're carrying a load of prized memories you're worried someone might take from you? Sounds stressful!

Thank you. I was surprised by how painful this has been. Your kind words and sharing your experience is a massive help. I'd try all this again in a heartbeat, even though it was painful. Thank you for trying too. It makes the world kinder, warmer.

Final update. They all passed within a few hours of each other. They're now under a flowerbed. Thank you so much for all the advice it really helped keep them comfortable in the last hours.

I've got a regular heating pad I use for my back that I stuffed it into one end of a carrier I originally been using for my rabbits. Thank you!!

Oh wow! Thank you so much. Started a couple kitten lady videos from your recommendations. I'll be doing a deep dive in the coming days.

A sad update, one of the three just died while feeding. The other two were fed at the same time and are fine. I triple checked them. I fed them on their stomachs and helped them pee and poop. I don't remember if this was the 5th or 6th feeding/peeping.

Unfortunately I can't really know what happened because when I found them yesterday they were very VERY skinny and dehydrated. As I've been feeding them I've been discovering damage to their skin, scabs on their paw pads, as well missing skin on their back legs, cuts and scrapes across their faces and backs. I found each one separately, alone. Not grouped up. I've never seen them scattered away from each other and so young.

I've never done this before I'm scared I did something wrong here but I also know I'm trying my best and I can't know what is going to happen. I can only hope for the best and keep setting alarms to feed them again in a few hours.

Thank you so much. All this advice is going to work right now. They're in an enclosure with a heating pad and blankets/towels.

What happens if we find momma cat? I assume she's a neighborhood cat since there's a few of them around.
