We are sending Kenya to an extended foster on Friday. As we mentioned earlier this month, Kenya stopped her whole-body bleeding during our water change and body scrubbing trial period, in the beginning of November. Our specialist team decided that it’s not necessary to move forward with invasive testing, as her prior testing came back clean and healthy. The collective thought is that, potentially, this was some topical issue that was resolved with our trial work. Nonetheless, still incredibly bizarre and abnormal.
Kenya originally came in to be adopted out. Of course once we saw the bleeding, we held off. To ensure that the anomaly bleeding does not come back, Kenya’s longterm fosters will be introducing new substrate and objects into her tank, while documenting her daily life. We will be doing this until the end of December, to have enough documentation to help us with adopting her out. If she continues to be in great health throughout this, that is fantastic news, and we can move forward with her forever home.
