SOS! Not sure what to do? Not a lot of articles on how to care for BDFB due to their dramatic ways. Im really hoping someone can enlighten me. This seem to be outside of the typical behavior my BDFB displays.
The Story of StickSun (our beetle)
My son was checking on StickSun before bed Thursday night. We went to bed it didn’t cross my mind to check just two days before was finally starting to borrow. However, my son may have accidentally placed the leave back into the enclosure in-correctly causing for our beetle to escape.
Long story short Friday morning I would say around 10:00 am.
I found her on the floor in the restroom. Which I couldn’t believe it bc this meant she fell pretty high off the floor.
When she was spotted she was ramming into the wall. Once I start to approach she stopped and I picked her up she had some attention very active no odd behavior and I placing her back in her enclosure. However around 8:00pm Friday I had passed by her enclosure. Where she was on her back kinda twitching the first thing that came to mind is she possibly got into poison as there is some roach gel from when I first moved in back in August.
Due to not knowing how long she been out.
I started immediate care by cleaning the mouth with a-tip and then manual water feeding. Still showing signs of life.
Saturday morning I reached out to the vendor who sold me the beetle for advice absolutely no help honestly P me off. Anywho continued aid small amount of amber fluid came out twice Saturday while administering water.. signs of poisoning from what I read.
once again cleaned mouth and placed bell pepper near her for feeding. Went for a run and came back to the bell pepper nipped at. Got some antenna action since she’s been like this not whole lot of it anymore. Also Saturday she had legs bend inwards and expend out but was almost going on and down however Still signs of life and blue coloration.
Come around the night Saturday I noticed dubbing head back and forth within shell but now straight stiff legs with pulse at end of body came off as it may have been trying to push something out so I read to put olive oil on q-tip to help lubricant whatever was being passed. A little small white fluid, egg or waste came out reminded me of a blackhead for Visual purposes. Sunday small movement slightly more antenna movement also not in same place from where last placed but not ever far from the location either however check back in few hours later and atill in same position it is now Monday morning about to be 3:00 am still signs of life but in same position is there any hope that my little friend will recover?!or is this the end </3
