She doesn’t have a lay bin.does she have a lay bin? also the bark at the bottom can be bad they can eat it and it can cause impaction
Definitely setting up an appointment for herGo to a vet too!
feed everyother day in the morning to give her time to digest and start varying up her diet, silk worms, bsf, bsfl, hornworms, bbf, and superworms (occasionally) are all great for her
along with that gutload with cricket crack or repashy diet or something besides those orange cubes in the petstore
spray 3 times a day minmum 2 mins, 5 mins at best
its very important to measure temp and humidity buy a temp gun or thermometer and humidity gauge
she needs more than one fake plant and A LOT of branches
the dog will stress her out, move her
make sure her temps don't fall below 60 degrees at night if so get a che
My dog is never in her cage, it’s just for looks, I’m gonna buy some more plants and branches for her today/thermometer and humidity gauge, she is definitely going to the vet asap

I’m waiting for a reply from themwhen have you scheduled for a vet
When you go to the vet, bring this form so they know your husbandry, along with a fresh fecal if possible. Take the substrate out and set up a drainage system. She needs a lay bin, that article by jannb is fantastic to read! I’d recommend reading through the enclosures tab in resources, she needs tons of branches and vines, mostly horizontal, along with tons of plant cover everywhere throughout her enclosure. Feed her the recommended amount in the morning every other day. Make sure to either keep your feeders constantly gutloaded with quality gutload or separate what you’ll feed off the night before or a few hours before feeding and gorge them with quality gutload (still feed the rest of the colony, though). Great gutloads are either organic fresh fruits and veggies (there’s a gutload list here in the food and nutrition tab in resources) and/or a quality commercial gutload, like Cricket Crack, Pangea Gutload, or Repashy Bug Burger. If you go commercial, turn the gutload into a paste/gel by adding water so you don’t have to worry about watering your feeders (fruits and veggies have enough water in them as is). There are many ways to supplement:She doesn’t have a lay bin.
