dont think, can never be surd, but they seemed to be slowly closing yesterday and today they are fully closed, so i dont think that is the case

Cindy - mine are usually closed up before I turn on the light and not all of them open up sometimes. I've had them for a while & they are spreading. Hopefully everything will be o.k.

yea i have been through a couple of them, i think this will be my last one. i do hear many people have a hard time keeping them. i only tried it again cuz my hubby loves them and we got rid of a preditor, but honestly the one we got from here is so small i dont think its gonna make it either

though i am a bit more concerned about the zoos right now :scared:

 

[cindyski]

Cindy - Have you tried to find out what they look like when they are dying. If the are still the same but closed up maybe they will be o.k.:notsure:
