    She ate a fire ant

    No, it is deliberate that the tank is on the floor. I keep it on the floor so that she can free roam my living room when I am home. We identified why the ants were suddenly coming in. There was a storm recently prior, and part of the tree had fallen on our house. We cleared that up and cleaned...

    She ate a fire ant

    Sorry to reply ages later, but she is fine! We had a fire ant problem for a couple weeks, but I think I fixed it. I kept finding the ants in her terrarium, and dying outside it. She lives in a Zen habitat that sits on the ground. I completely cleaned it, using an enzyme cleaner in and around the...

Please help, I can take her to the vet if need be. But I need to know if they are toxic to ingest and how worried I should be. I...

She definitely doesn’t get that many crickets. Probably closer to ~10 medium sized. Greens and/or veggies almost every day, and sometimes...

    High calcium, low protein, dehydrated. (bloodwork)

    I took Genji to the vet and had bloodwork done. The vet called me and essentially said she has high calcium, low protein and is mildly dehydrated. He didn't think it was too serious, and she seems completely healthy otherwise. He considered she might even be gravid, but I have not seen her dig...
