[QUOTE="freerangeTs, post: 124965, member: 27611"] Cornstarch. Someone on another forum saw a wound on the abdomen of her T and superglue the Ts butt shut. The T is likely to die from impaction now when it potentially could have survived the wound. There's too much risk with using superglue, from your T potentially moving in a manner before it dries and causing a limb to be stuck to accidentally overdoing it. With cornstarch, you stop the "blood" (haemolymph) in a more natural way and the T can survive an extra dosage from an overzealous owner without risk of disastrous effects or itself becoming frightened from the handling and potentially touching another part to the affected/treated area, especially if the T isn't accustomed to it.
