Phew, 2nd straw up from her molt.

Post by Guest » Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:00 am

I can now relax. My 2nd straw, Fandango, has made it through her molt and come back healthy and active. :D She seems a little washed out, in contrast to her "sister" who came up fire engine red.

Boy oh boy... my straws have never really acted like the straws I hear about on here. They never trashed anything or really did much of anything. Something has gotten into Sizzle(1st straw that molted), and she is c-r-a-z-y! Fandango is a quick study. She came up yesterday, and the two of them tore the netting down, knocked over a couple food dishes, knocked shells off the shell shelf, and dug big holes all before bedtime. It's good to see them "being straws." :lol:

Here are the requisite before and after pics. I don't have a great close up of her before.

:D CONGRATULATIONS! :wav:

I am very glad that your Straw pulled off a successful molt. I don't think the color washed out too much. That is a very handsome hermie.
