I had that problem with mine for a while - it was a Vitamin A deficiancy, and yours looks
like mine did. Bring him to a vet ASAP, it can become a serious problem when it gets
advanced, and it is pretty advanced when both eyes are closed.
The UV is highly necessary, even if kept outside...
Well, we got him home right at a week ago, the vet gave him an antibiotic shot, gave us some Sunshine Factor for his Vitamin A, Akwa to rinse his eyes, and an antibiotic to rinse them with... We had to give him a follow up shot this past weekend, and giving him water. We've been feeding him a...
Sounds like a good plan! They only carry main-stream feeders though, so I'll have to order the good stuff somewhere else. I read somewhere that you were supposed to gutload them about four hours before feeding, so they don't lose everything... I'm thinking of getting Dubias, I'll have to get my...
I think I missed the part where I was asked? But it is a linear tube, not the bulb :) I really don't know how often the crix were fed, but the vet did say deficiancy, so probably not too often if I were to take a guess at it, I suppose.
I'm not too familiar with the cockroach species - but...
I seem to be having a small problem with the poll? It said I voted already - though I never did? Or is it closed already? My vote goes to December - the cute little guy with the long nose. I love his pose, and coloration, it's a beautiful picture, and specimen. Oh nevermind, just saw the junior...
I'm not sure of what tests he ran, but they did tests on his eyes and all, and the gunk in them. However - I came to find out the bloody crickets were eating dog food, so it was a bummer for me, I really would've hoped they wouldn't lie to customers like that, but I should have pushed for more...
Yep, I'm the one from Yahoo lol Much more information here - I don't see how I missed it!
Well, Monday I made an appointment with LSU [the closest area to me without going to New Orleans], and brought him in. Luckily on the way, he pooped so they had a fresh sample. We were the only ones...
Ok, the cage is screen, 36 x 18 x 18. I mist usually three times daily, I have a Fluker's dripper that I direct over leaves. I always made sure he drank at least once a day.
The crickets I purchased were pre-gutloaded, so I never bothered with it. I dusted calcium at least once or twice a...
I got him close to a year ago, and he's always been healthy, never hesitated to eat or anything. He's eaten Superworms, Mealworms, Crickets, Fruitflies, anything he could get ahold of pretty much. But around the holidays he started to have some problems with his eyes. It started with his left...
