Bug dealer Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 So I’ve been raising three Madagascar hissers for about two months now. Never have I seen this before, so I’m pretty worried. I just bought three more from the store, and two of the three seem… well, like they’re dying. They’re in the classic dead-bug fetal position, and barely more when I upright them. The behavior displayed by them doesn’t seem healthy. I’ve never seen them molt before, so is this what they do before molting? If not, I just bought them like 30 minutes ago, so should I try and get new ones? I don’t know what to do but it breaks my heart to see them like this.

Bhjjr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Can you post a picture? Weird that they changed so rapidly. 30 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hopefully they are just molting, which can take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can’t figure out how to get a photo on here, but I can tell you that one has gotten better. I’m holding him right now and he’s seeming much more lively than previously observed. The second isn’t. It’s still showing the same fetal-position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Is it cold where you are at? Maybe they got a bit on the cold side coming home with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cold where I am. But even after being at my house for like 7 hours, one of them is still unwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
