The wax worms are just for now I wanna get her back onto roaches soon. I think also I may be over feeding her with the roaches and maybe that’s why she’s still having troubles. Everything else seems to be good so that’s the only thing I can think of. I will look into the BSFL because I heard...

I took her to the vet because her cloaca had come out and they gave me some lube to keep her butt area wet. She strained herself when trying to go and even though the poo came out I guess she pushed to hard. I also have some wax worms I bought for now and will keep up with the pumpkin mix. I...

Okay so I was able to push it back in and her bum looks normal now. How do I prevent this from happening every time she poops. I can physically see that she’s struggling to go and even tho she is pooping, I want her to be able to do it easily and not have butt troubles. I adjusted her enclosure...

I’ve also been feeding her Dubias smaller than the space between her eyes. I’ve eliminated crickets from her diet because I thought maybe they were contributing to the problem.

I appreciate you checking in again it means a lot. So a quick update, she is finally able to poop and has been pooping once a day. But she still gets a swollen bum after she goes and this morning I noticed a small red lump protruding. She also did not poop like the past couple of days. It was...

Yeah she used to go like three times a day. She still has some trouble going and her bum stays swollen a little after she tries to go. But again in the morning she has successful ones so I don’t know if that’s like the normal recovery process or something. I’ll look into getting those nutri...

Little update: she only seems to poo successfully (normal looking poo with urate) in the morning. Today was the second morning she was able to go and have it look normal. I gave her smaller Dubias and she chased after them so fast. She was probably very hungry for those since she was only on the...

I was so excited/happy about the poop I can’t remember if I saw urate but she would always excrete urate along with the liquid before so I’m pretty sure this time with the poop the urate was at the end. I’ll have to see if she was able to go again with another successful poop when I get back so...

Okay sounds good! When I get home from work I’ll give her some of the pumpkin mix and throw in a couple of smaller Dubias for her. She does look thinner than she used to which is also worrying. I don’t want her to be starving :( She doesn’t like the pumpkin much but it’s working so it’ll have to do

She finally had one successful poop!!!!! There was no extra liquid content and it was a healthy normal looking log! Her bum is a little bit swollen now so I will continue to feed the pumpkin before giving her solids just in case. But her bum is not as swollen as it used to get.

Also I’ve been massage her belly gently every now and then between feedings to try to help pass things. I don’t know if that’s helpful or not

She slept like this last night

When her bum area gets swollen it doesn’t seem to bother her when I touch the area. Last night, a while after she had tried to go I lightly pressed the area to see if anything would come out and it went straight back down which was surprising. It felt like something was put back in place or...

Oh that’s kinda cool I didn’t know you could open their mouths like this. This is very helpful thank you I will try this for dinner time. I tried to get in the side but she was avoiding it like a ninja but now that I know you can kind of open the mouth a bit I will try this. I don’t know how...

Okay I used a syringe to feed her about 1mL twice today already for breakfast and lunch. I couldn’t get the syringe into her mouth but I went drop by drop just placing it at the tip of her mouth until she opened herself. She went and there was more poo content but still some liquid but I think...
