Hi,
Ok, last week one of my male RAPTOR breeders started going off of his food(crickets), and last night I noticed he was getting really lethargic. He is in a Rubbermaid 2221 bin rack with 11 other bins, he is on paper towel substrate, temps are 91 hot side 77 cool side(I'm Canadian, I'm not sure on the conversion, but the temps are where they should be).
He always has fresh water, all crickets are gutloaded and dusted regularly.
Here are some pics of what I found this morning. It looks like he's coughed up or spit up blood, and not a small amount of it either. Any suggestions? I can't go to a vet today with it being Sunday, so I'm pretty concerned to say the least.
Thanks,
Dave

Wow, Dave, how terrible that this happened on a Sunday. It's like animals know what day the vet is closed. Is there anything that he could have eaten that could have caused an impaction? You said he's not eating but has was he having normal bowel movements until recently?
