Hiya, PLEASE share advice! My 9 month old Smithi's tank got knockd over:- she fell pretty hard, bled from her cephalothorax (back) not abdomen (about a 1/4 teaspoon haemoglobin). Immediately glued small hole/ tear. It's been a week and she's seeming ok but is still pretty inactive, am leaving her alone to heal (dampening her mouth daily in an attempt to replace fluids) - she moves when gently prodded, but not much. Not eating at all...
Anyone hazard a guess as to how long inactivity will be for?
Anything I need to be doing?
Please share experience, have no idea what to expect...
Thanks, migs

Shame, that is not good. Did you put her in ICU? If the bleeding has stopped, and you are making sure she has water, there is not much more you can do. Just make sure she is kept warm, humidity is ok. She probably got a major shok, so leave the crickets for a while, and they may just irritate her. Don't disturb her to much.

Not sure how long whe will take to recover, but holding thumbs that she will be fine!
