Hi.
I need some help ASAP!
Feel so awful right now.
As, I was moving the Slings into another room. Grammastola Pulchra Sling. About 3cm/7 months old.
(moving enclosures) so I could better keep an eye on them, as the other room has more light.
Really can't be certain how or how long the T enclosure was on the floor floor for! I do not think it was longer that say 10mins.
As I must of somehow knocked the enclosure over and not heard it hit the floor (large rug).
I do not handle them. But as I had knocked over the enclosure... Wanted to check on the spiderling!
I can not see anything ruptured... Or any clear fluid/obvious deflation of abdomen. But is obviously stressed, and possibly dying? But can not say for sure, if theirs a tiny rupture that I can't see!
The enclosure had a mini plant pot (thin plastic) hide and a fabric an plastic green leaf for decor.
Is their anything I can do? I am pessimistic, this sling will survive. From what I can briefly search... Slings handle falls better than larger ones... Some say they survive... Others say they don't!? And to put them on a tissue lined enclosure, to keep an eye on them.
The sling seemed to be in a death curl. Feet tucked under abdomen... But was still wiggling its legs when I was checking for ruptured area's.
I do not know if their is anything I can do, unless it's just a "wait and see" what happens.
I moved them as I thought they dould be safer in another room, with less walking about to help them settle in. I haven't even had them a week yet... I feel like such a crappy owner!
These are my first ever T's.
Many thanks in advance!
