As stated above there was a good chance she could of had parasites, but I did not see any that were large enough to be seen with the naled eye during the necropsy.
Also stated above was that I thought I found a bruise, so this lead to the assumption that she fell, but the vet, ferretinmyshoes...
Thank you for the link!
The lungs were so "fragile" that upon removal they tore/opened. Didn't see anything that raised suspicion, and didn't get a picture as it was all just solid red, but I did inspect them, since I did think there could be parasites in there.
Not directly to me, but to...
I've had her for about 8 months. When I first got her she was definitelty stressed, but after about a week and a half she settled in and was happy and unstressed, and had been just like that since then. Even took to the feeding cup I made for her (something thr male had not figured out yet).
The...
Thank you!
I've never heard or seen anywhere that proves that hoehnelii can retain sperm. If you have any links could you please share? I'd be very interested to read them.
Thank you for your analysis of everything. It was so hard to get pictures as everything was just that same blackish color.
So do they ALWAYS create the yolk sacks whether they're fertilized or not? I guess I'm just confused how the whole cycle works for these guys.
Okay I'm pretty sure you are in agreement with the "results" I posted. So thank you for taking the time to look over these and give your opinion, so far it looks like not many others will.
She did not seem stressed at all before her *possible* fall. Yes it is highly likely that she did, but I personally cannot say for certain. Not sure where that assuption came from as I stated previously that she was acting completely normal.
No the male and female were completely separate and could not see each other. I only tried to introduce them to each other every now and then as stated above
We have no idea if she fell or not for certain, it's only speculation, again as stated above, so I can't answer those questions.
Couldn't take photos from the website so had to finish and now I'm posting them. Was much harder than expected, because of how small she was.
Her head is always to the left for reference.
All "labels" are very loose as I don't really know for sure what some stuff is.
Black spot (on both of her...
*Update*
It will be a little longer before the necropsy begins. I have to wait for my SO to get home so he can help by taking the pictures and posting them.
*Important*
I want this thread to be about the necropsy, and what is learned from it only. If if it finds something, or finds nothing, and my husbandry is to blame, then I can admit it, but I will assess what I did wrong and how to change it PERSONALLY, and not here on this thread. basically...
Backstory:
She came to me WC and gravid. Wanted to treat for parasites, but not while she was stressed from import, and also not while gravid. About 2 months later she had 7 neonates.
I tried introducing my male to her just to see/gauge her/his reaction to each other. It typical male fashion, he...
