After a few days of being alone. Everyone is putting on a little bit of weight. Ali as far as we can see did not get the parasite she is the only one with a solid fecal. And the other two are getting better. Every one is eating. Should have everyone 100% soon. But Tuesday is the vet visit. It was just going to be one fecal sample but now I am going to do 2. One of one of the sick ones and then Ali. Just to make sure she is okay. Because it will make me feel better if she doesn't have it. I will just keep her alone until she is done laying all her eggs. The one in the incubator is still alive. Been a week!

It should make you feel better if they ALL dont have it. Good luck.

I will be happy when this is behind all of us. Its affecting my entire family. Ducky and Petrie were my first ones and they are my babies. And the reason I have all the rest. I will even be glad just to kno why they are like they are!

If one has it, treat it as all have it. I know I'll sound like a pain or what ever. Just cause one is gravid isnt a reason to care more about her from not getting sick. She shouldnt have been the one to be moved...It should have been the sick one. Go to walmart and get totes simple and easy quaritine for them. All of them need a fecal and that way you will know for sure.

Im not trying to be mean or anything, but to save one cause she is gravid and let the others deal with an infected cage mate and cage. Thats letting them suffer when you can stop it.

Get them all to the vet and in seperate enclousers.

All three of my females that where in the 30 gallon tank together are now each in their own 10 gallon tank. I had enough tanks laying around I just made a set up for everyone. And everyone is on paper towel. I have a fecal sample ready for the vet tomorrow. And everyone is doing better now that they are not together. And I will treat until I can get a healthy fecal sample. And after this I am going to meal worms, only because I am buying a breeding colony of mealies with millions in it. And thats what I will use as a main sorce of food. And then when I buy crickets just offer them twice a week!

Alright vet update. Ali the gravid female has pin worms but nothing bad. But just to be safe everyone went on antibiotics, and a parasite treatment. Ali is healthy thought he said. 64 grams. Ducky is rather healthy at 45 grams. Petrie is very unhealthy at 35 grams. But I have alot of work a head of me and I am 263 dollars in my dads debt!
