#I saw your other ask too and yeah lol don’t google Leech Kink

[plaguedocboi]

sorry if i shouldn't be asking for advice i just don't know any other weathered leech keepers ;;;; so i've had my hirudo verbana for a few years and no issues with their health. however my paranoid ass doesn't know how to identify a twisted stomach (or causes) and i think you have mentioned it before. honestly i think it's just because my leech was fast asleep scrunched weirdly so it's a skin kink that will loosen but i can't help worrying over..... worms

A twisted crop is pretty apparent, it’s different than when they just Scrunch and look like a weird slinky for a minute. Here’s an example of a twisted crop:

It’s like a little indentation that doesn’t go away even when they stretch. If it gets severe enough they will start vomiting and acting very lethargic. My leeches get twisted crops most often right after they’ve fed.

Adding catappa leaves to the tank almost always fixes it!
