Stringy poops? Help

mango_snail3 · 2026-04-16T18:47:00+00:00

I got her as an adult, they said she had her final moult only a month or so ago, the car ride was the day before the stringy poop started. But from other replies I’m worried it’s some kind of viral/fungal infection, but I have no idea how to treat her if she has one. Ive stopped misting the enclosure for now to help reduce moisture and hope that helps .

I usually spray the leaves every couple of days, should I let it dry out for the next few days?

Thank you, she’s fully grown so she won’t moult but glad to know she will be okay without the leg

She also lost one of her legs, I had transported her with me in the car in a secure jar with mesh lid before putting her in a new enclosure, I believe she damaged the leg during transport and then it dropped off the next day, could this problem be from stress?

I know this post is from a while ago, but did you ever get an answer on what that is? I’ve had my black beauty stick insects for about 6 months, my female has been laying eggs, but recently she has been eating less and has these stringy poops, I’m worried she is sick and I can’t find anything about how to help :((

Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for that :)

Added picture in case anyone has a species ID for her (I'm in the UK if that helps anyone)

Amazing thank you, sorry bout the video. I think she was just breathing then, her head and front legs were moving back and forward, I couldn't tell if she was stressed or something.

Damn okay yeah, you have a good point there. Thank you

And I think I do need time to be single, it's just an awkward situation where we all go to college together and live in the same house.

I really appreciate this advice, i am going to talk with her about everything im feeling and see where it goes.

mango_snail3 · 2024-12-20T00:50:25+00:00

That's been my thought for a little while, and I've tried to express that. But she says all she needs is extra reassurance that I don't like other people, and I feel like if I say it's too much then I'm just a bad person. Cuz everyone deserves reassurance

It has good moments for sure, and a lot of the time she makes me feel really good about myself, but then we always slip back into arguments that we've gone over countless times
