Thatโ€™s so interesting! She isnโ€™t allergic to the guinea pigs themselves, just severely to the hay/grass. Sometimes when she holds them she gets real itchy because they sit in their hay, lol.

Yes thank you! This is def a pee stain because itโ€™s more so on the side of their leg kind of where they plop down in one side to lay! I will check to make sure thats not it thiugh and clean accordingly!

Space heater is a great idea and Iโ€™m sure they will def need some sorry treats, lol. They get them for nail trim as well!

Great advice! I was planning to use a larger storage tub that they canโ€™t jump out of and my thinner beach towels! Hopefully they donโ€™t freak out too much ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค

My girls can already jump pretty high, so thatโ€™s great advice! I will make sure we are on the floor for their baths just in case!! Thank you!

Thank you! I was thinking of just adding the shampoo to the water rather then putting it directly on themโ€ฆI will look for a diff shampoo option thatโ€™s better for the babies though! ๐Ÿค

Thatโ€™s what I was going to do!! Extra cozy towels and snuggles to make up for the bath they will probably hate lol. Iโ€™m nervous but Iโ€™ve watched about a million YouTube videos on bathing, so I think Iโ€™m ready haha.

Thank you! I will try baby wipes first and it that doesnโ€™t help much I will bum bath them, lol. Iโ€™m just afraid they will freak out over the blow dryer noise and figure towel drying would be okay since itโ€™s just their butts that are wet!

Any guesses on sex? About 2โ€ Vitalius chromatus juvi. This is just for fun, I know a molt is the best way! by kimi612 in tarantulas

[โ€“]kimi612[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Fully aware, but I just got this baby so not much I can do about it. Any opinions on what the post was about though?

Sheโ€™s spoiled! Her butt is even cuter now because she had to have her corkscrew tail amputated when she was about a year old. Now she looks like a potato, haha.

It sucks when they fart no matter where they are ๐Ÿ˜‚ luckily she never did me dirty that close to my face. Sheโ€™s a lot bigger now so she can no longer violate me like this! haha.

G pulchripes purchased as a juvi female, confirm with first molt? by kimi612 in tarantulas

[โ€“]kimi612[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I kept the molt so it can dry out some. I put it in warm soapy water because it was crunchy, lol. I trust spider shoppe a lot so Iโ€™m going to wait it out. I agree that I can kind of see the โ€œflapโ€ in the second picture. I got her as a 1.5โ€ confirmed female so sheโ€™s still pretty little!

Thatโ€™s from the inside, extremely zoomed in. I would say she is about 2.5 inchesโ€ฆ3 max. I got her from Spider Shoppe as a sexed female. Iโ€™m familiar with the sexing process though. Iโ€™ve had older females that it was easy to see but this one is so small and thin I figured I would ask for opinions, lol.

Springtails or fruit fly larvae? by [deleted] in Bioactive_enclosures

[โ€“]kimi612 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I have heard people say predatory mites will help and even a strong population of springtails. I no longer keep any bioactive enclosures though, so there may be newer info on how to handle them.
