I hope that we see more Ts next year in the backyard. Really great that there are some that live behind our house. We’re fans now. Thanks everyone!

I know this is probably silly but I buried T under a lavender plant that I got. Here’s a pic.

Thank you so much. I tried really hard. I don’t know if I’ll ever keep a T but may someday. They are amazing creatures. We are getting a lavender bush to bury him under. I want something to remember him by. Sounds corny but I don’t care.

Hello Everyone. I want to let you know that my rescued T has passed. I’m very sad. I want to say that all of your support, guidance, knowledge and caring is so appreciated. I wouldn’t have been able to help this little T without all of you. Best wishes to all of you and your Ts. Linda

Ok. Water is all that I’m giving it. I’m doing that twice a day. About 6-8 drops per time. Do you think that is enough? Still in ICU

Misting I meant.

I’m wondering if he needs moisture. Would musing help?

I found some gut load cricket drink supplement online. Would that work instead of mushing a live cricket?

I think the T probably may need food. I know I need to get a cricket, kill it and then make a runny substance from its insides. I’m pretty squeamish about that though. Would a pet store do that for me?

Update: seems to still be taking the water drops that I give him. I don’t see his mouth move but the water seems to go in. Abdomen is still squishy which is worrisome. I do see an indentation in his abdomen that seems to go away after I give him water. No smell yet so maybe he’s still alive?

I see that I forgot to thank you. This has been excellent info. I did put a hide over him. Cut in half paper cup. I hope that’s ok.

Update: 9/21 I’m still hanging in there with him. The water drops that I give him seem to be going down his mouth. I don’t see any mouth movement though. His abdomen has had a little dent but that seems to go away after giving him water. His abdomen does still feel kinda squishy. Still in ICU...

Stress curl looks more like what it is then. That’s a relief. I’ll look for something as a hide. Thanks.

They are interesting and unusual creatures. I’m in awe of them. We had a pretty big one hanging around here in July during the big monsoons. Perhaps a parent of this little T. It would come around a certain place in our backyard around 6 PM. Very cool.

Thank you so much. Your kind words are very helpful and makes me feel better that he may perhaps know that he’s being cared for.
