Hey yall, Molly has a loose dirt substrate and digs at night to get cooler but she has dirt in her nose and i dont know how to get it out, she just poops on me when i try, advice please
Not sure how to get that out ---- I would however get rid of the loose substrate for now and go w/ some textured NON adhesive shelf liner found at Walmart or you local home improvement store - loose substrate for babies is a risk for impaction - babies tend to eat and lick everything -- you can clean the liner w/ some vinegar / water solution 5050 and then wipe w/ a clean wet cloth -- lets see if some others can help w/ the stuff in the noseHey yall, Molly has a loose dirt substrate and digs at night to get cooler but she has dirt in her nose and i dont know how to get it out, she just poops on me when i try, advice please
lol omg she would hateee that she doesnt like to go in her viv bc it stinks so she would HATE the diaperUse a diaper naybe???? i couldn't resist lol I'm sorry. Try a damp q-tip maybe?
Shes not shedding right now but she is wiping both sides of her nose on the hammock so i think its bothering her yes but not like rash irritationDoes the dirt seem to be causing irritation or anything like that? Trying to wipe it with a damp qtip is probably a good idea, but other than that I probably wouldn't mess with it much and see if it clears on its own if it doesn't appear to be causing irritation (swelling, mucous buildup, frequent scratching at the area, etc).
yes all cleared and good, she is shedding right now so pulling those out of her nose but thank youuHello,
So things are getting cleared up? I am glad to hear the q-tip worked so well! They can sure
give you some grief.
