[QUOTE="Rosey_Slingster, post: 179441, member: 33424"] I have cornstarch, but that's why I handled the sling as I thought I had killed the poor thing! Don't worry I am not going to dip the sling in cornstarch. Anyway my reasoning for handling was a nessesery one. To check for injury. I couldn't see any split abdomen or and milky/clear "blood" anywhere, the substrate was a little darker, but that could be from spraying yesterday an possibly from condensation. I assumed their must of been an injury! As I dont know at what point I knocked the enclosure over. *face-palm* I'd say a good 10min possibly longer. Went back in the room, went ti sit down, *mortified face* saw sling enclosure on the floor! They have been through a lot this past week. Received them only 5 days ago, poor soals where shipped, rehomed, fed and one fell, possibly going into pre molt and not dying... All within 5 days. I'd probably curl up in a stress ball after that if I was a sling! Poor fuzz baby! At least s/he had a good meal before molt... Fingers crossed that it's just a crazy coincidence. I feel so bad now... Probably really streeed the sling out handling in pre molt... Thinking I killed the poor guy/girl. I feel like a right twit. Thanks all ever so much! You really have helped give me hope. I was almost certain I had accidentally killed him/her... But now... I know theirs hope.. My poor sling! [/QUOTE]
