Honey Treatment

[Ellithain]

Good news! She’s still free of anymore vomiting and she’s molted! Hopefully in the clear now.

Yay! Wish I could say the same for mine.. He's in the freezer now.

 

[Ellithain]

Aw I’m so sorry

Sorry for your loss

Okay weird thing, after she molted she’s started it up again. Only small amounts and not nearly as dark as before but she’s throwing up again ? she seems otherwise fine.. i don’t get it. 

 

[Mantis Lady]

Start the honey treatment again. Then she can get some energy. What did she eat the last time?

 

[Ellithain]

I am still giving her around 7-8 hydei whenever her abdomen starts looking too flat. I haven’t gone back to the blue bottles since they were what she was eating when this all started. 

 

[MantisGirl13]

I agree, start the honey treatment again. Can you try feeding her Dubias instead of flies?

[Ellithain]

I can try to find a small enough dubia. I think I still have a few nymphs... in the meantime I’ll start the honey. 

 

[MantisGirl13]

Ok. I hope she gets better!

[Mantis Lady]

I hope she gets better too.

 

[MantisGirl13]

How is she now, @Ellithain?

[Ellithain]

Shes still doing it and now its looking reddish. No longer a dark brown. Honestly I have no idea because she's otherwise still acting fine! Maybe its not what I thought it was? I'm unsure. 

 

[MantisGirl13]

Hmm... I see what you mean. I am clueless here, sorry!

[Ellithain]

Ultimately shes quarantined from my others and I wash my hands in between her and them in case she has something. If she never passes then great! weird but great! If she does then I've tried everything I can think of. 

 

[MantisGirl13]

That is good. If she doesn't really seem affected, then she may not be sick. I have really no clue what this could be!

Leia passed away today..  it’s my first ever mantis death but I had been preparing for this outcome for a while. I still don’t know what this was but she fought it for so long and at least I know I truely tried my best to save her. 

 

[Graceface]

So sorry for your loss. You did all you could for her! Even if you know it may be coming, losing a friend is never easy. My condolences

 

[MantisGirl13]

Oh, no! You fought very hard for her, I am so sorry that you couldn't save her.
