Hi guys, fnally got a chillie rose from someone that came into the pet shop i help out in. She/he is aprox 4" incl legs.
Now, the tank she is in is a small plastic tub, substrate was very dry, no hide, uneaten food in rotting away and a tiny water bowl. She appears dull in colour and fragile, slow moving and not interested in the small cricket i dropped in for her! The cricket was climbing on her and she did nothing. She will moved if gently asked (by touching her back legs)
Do you guys think she might be dehydrated or just stressed? I have misted her tank, put in a decent sized bowl with a wet sponge in and stood her ontop on the fish tank where it is warm. She also now has a hide which she is using at present. Im going to move her into a rotastack hamster cage base unit which will give her more room and also clean her out and add some fresh soil (soon to be replaced by vermiculite which is on order from the petshop)
Do you guys think im doing the right thing or should i leave her relocation for a few days?
Thanks in advance!
