I am so sorry to hear that. I have had youngsters who were eating great and looked nice and fat who died for no obvious reason. I didn't have them necropsied so can say there was not reason, just no obvious one. I know that my adults have consumed fairly good amounts of substrate and seem to have never had a problem with it. I am concerned though that the younger ones could be more likely to forma a blockage.



For that reason I am now keeping my babies on paper towels to see if this will reduce the mystery deaths. So far so good but the oldest are just now 3 months old so I still don't consider them past the hump. I had a clutch of 9 last July that were doing great until I moved them to a tank with bed-a-beast at 2 months and 5 died within a month leaving only 4 survivors.



I sure hope tracker makes it. It's so hard losing these guys. They have such personalities and you just bond to easily!
