I have 2 female jackson's. One seems fine, the other seems sick. I noticed tonight that there were 3 little orange sack things on the ground. I can't tell if they are unfertilzed eggs or somethings else. She is also not wanting to eat any crickets. Should I be worried???? Help please...
Jackson Chemelon seems sick, pooping orange things

Sounds like she dropped some 'slugs', they're unfertilized ovum. I think it's normal, but I don't know much about jacksons.

Hi! I have read on here about female jackson's doing this occasionally. I would give her the same after care as if she had given birth to babies, I'm not a jackson's keeper so I can't really help you further. Hopefully she will be back to normal soon! Keep an eye on her and if she doesn't improve I think a vet visit could be in order. I would keep a close eye on the other female too just in case.
How long have you had them? I've seen a lot of people here aquiring female jackson's and them giving birth out of the blue!

shes probably about to have babies hope you have fruit flies available and pinheads. Id keep a close eye.
IF so seperate the babies so nothing can happen, and come back here and get the info you need.
there is a bunch of good care guides on jacksons. Ill post you some links to your pm in a few.
