quick need help fast

[gripen]

she was doing great this morning what a bummer.

she just passed.

So sorry.

I have managed to salvage a few that I caught mismolting, by securing their legs with scotch tape to something. I wouldn't secure to paper towel, though...too easy for them to wrestle out of. My best success was taping just the very ends of the feet that aren't gripping (like 1 mm of the foot, MAX) to a semi-smooth plastic or finished wood-type surface. Then mist gently & pray. I've never caught a Unicorn having this problem, so I don't know if the trick will work for them.

Good luck!

 

[GreenOasis]

Terribly sorry...

Guess I was a bit late.

I have also had a few nymphs that simply "failed" to molt...like they got stuck inside or something. there's nothing that can be done with those.

 

[gripen]

its a sad thing them just twitching and trying to molt, something went wrong on the inside.

Yes, this would be true. sometimes there exoskeleton does not split. They become mushy, and die. So sorry.
