Is this a prolapse??

She passed what was impacted in her, it looked to be about a 3/8 - 12 inch cricket and possibly a small piece of coco husk. Thanks Brian I'm gonna take your advise and try earthworm pieces. I would suspect after a week of fasting she will take them if they move she is a pretty aggressive feeder. I put more jungle mix overtop of the coco husk in my viv to prevent the other 2 from doing the same and culled the bigger crickets in the cricket keeper.

Glad to hear that your little guy is on the road to recovery! Thanks for the info everybody, it is good to read about this stuff before it happens so you are prepared if/when it does!

Many of use feed from a glass bowl so that there is less chance of them swallowing substrate and less crickets on the loose in the vivarium.

A simple cereal bowl made of glass is too slippery for the crickets to get traction and escape from. If sunk into the substrate, will also collect loose crickets since they seem to love to fall back in.

I use plantation soil or straight coco fiber.

I use the bowl method for feeding but the odd one seems to escape and usually ends up commiting suicide in the water bowl.lol I think maybe the peice of husk just may have washed off her in the water bowl in the quarentine tank, it was quite small and at the opposite end from where she passed the cricket. I'm thinking I may do a change on the substrate to a plantation soil , the jungle mix seems to have some larger pieces in it.

Last night I gave her a very small cricket and she had a poo and everything looks fine. maybe later I will put her back in with the rest of the crew so she will be a lot happier.
