[QUOTE="x_raphael_xx, post: 215768, member: 37624"] Hi, my P sp. Rufus has been hiding away forever, I hadn’t seen her since I got her about 6 months ago, not even any signs of movement (poop etc) food never eaten. Assumed she had passed so decided to check up on her after waiting long enough (wouldn’t have if I had seen any signs of life) Now shes been disturbed shes more active and has started drinking again and re-webbing. She looks healthy still and abdomen is still plump, (although one half is flattish?) but I’ve noticed she has mites around her mouth. Is this dangerous? Is there anything I can do? Or are they simply after a little moisture from her fangs now shes drinking? [ATTACH type="full"]67123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]67124[/ATTACH] I’ve popped a cricket in, to see if she’ll take it now shes moving around, but shes not spotted it yet. [/QUOTE]
