Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArvadaLanee" data-source="post: 67036" data-attributes="member: 4315">Her enclosure isn't new, but her surroundings are. She went from being in an unused room that was always dark and quiet, to being in a home where she gets filtered sunlight, and there are cats, and kids, and more activity. I thought that could still seem like a big change. I do intend to change her enclosure up a bit. Mostly, I want to get that sand out of there. I think it's probably not been cleaned for a very long time. I have eco earth, and jungle mix on the way, that I ordered online. I'm planning to use mostly the eco earth, but have a little patch of jungle mix on one side. I'm just waiting to do this change, in case she is in premolt, so I don't disturb her.I was trying to get her the red runner roaches, but my car is in the shop, and every site I tried is having packages held at the post office in my area because of the cold. After a while, I gave up and ordered the Dubai Roaches. I can order the other ones once my car is fixed, but I don't know how long that will take. (I am getting a discount, so I can't complain about the time it takes.) I could have sworn the site I ordered from said these roaches were not big burrowers, but I could be wrong, or maybe they just wanted to make a sale. I had to order 50 of those buggers, too! I'm very nervous about having them in the house. I hope Blanche can find them before they burrow. I have a feeling poor Blanche hasn't been fed well in a long time. I know she has only ever been offered crickets before, so maybe the roaches will be very tempting. I would just like to help her get back to a healthy size, and live a bit more comfortably.</blockquote>
