txfletch Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi, my female hisser is obviously trying to drop her ootheca (her abdomen looks like it is pinching the ootheca off). However, it has now been nearly 3 days and it has not dropped or gone back into her abdomen. I am worried about her health, how can I help her/what do I do?????

birdonfire Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Is it an ootheca and not a prolapse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txfletch Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 She dropped it! It was definitely an ootheca. To be honest I wanted her to drop it. I bought them as pets not to breed and was unaware she was female as I am very new to the hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 If it is outside here body for more than the half hour it takes to form and retract the ootheca is dead. If it happens again and doesn't fall off you can cut off what's sticking out. Gently trying to remove could damage her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
