Chicago Eastern Odd Movements

[twgrosmick]

I am not convinced that she is having seizures but randomly she will start to look like she is moving food through her digestive system. It is a forceful movement an she lays on her side an looks like she is rubbing herself all over the substrate.


Eating great an no other visual problems


Anyone have experience with this? Is she marking territory?

Thanks

The first thing that comes to mind is mites.

[twgrosmick]

I am soaking her in water right now for any sign of mites...

[twgrosmick]

Yeah I agree but I used up the last of my prevent a mite.... Any idea which place ships the fastest?

[twgrosmick]

I have searched the cage piece by piece and don't see any signs of mites.... C

Treat anyway, that enclosure. That way they are completely ruled out.
With baby mites being so small it's not worth the possible risk.
If you treat and the behavior stops you have an answer.
Just my opinion.

I've only purchased from the company(Pro Products).

Found the little bastards...I soaked her for about 20 min and only saw about 10..... I will be treating my entire collection..... Anyone who inquired obviously nothing will be for sale until I get this under control for a while...

Kill the little pukes. I hate mites. Glad you found them. Can you take a phone call?

[twgrosmick]

Absolutely....
