[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 29475, member: 1393"] Well, you do have a lot of things going on here. I think you made the right choice by eliminating the bug box. That was a major change to her enclosure and that combined with getting bounced around a little in the move could have created some stress. Regarding the substrate, many people use peat. I prefer cocoa fiber (Eco Earth). I mix in about 30% vermiculite to hold humidity and improve draining of the soil. This generally helps to prevent mold. I would recommend doing some more research on the forum to make up your own mind on what is the ideal substrate for the Chaco. I am suspecting you may be overfeeding? T's really only need 1-2 crickets per week. If she is overfed and does not want to eat, the crickets can cause stress and possibly worse. Crickets are nasty little buggers and have been known to attack molting T's and cause damage or death. [/QUOTE]
