My tiny female hatchling died tonight after not feeding for the past 2 months. I just feel horrible about it and wish I knew more of what I could have done to get her back on track. I feel I have the temperature within their range (tub is 74 in front, 75 in back per the temp gun). I know that's a couple of degrees warmer than you're keeping your coxi and I wish I could get it cooler (the heat wave here this summer is really kicking in). Over the past couple of months it is quite possible that temps got higher than that for a brief period, but I've rearranged my caging to keep the coxi pretty much one level above my mandarins. I didn't have a chance to find a source for peromyscus pinks over the past week, but the information is appreciated for future reference.



Thank you again for your advice and I wish you much luck with your recent hatchlings and future clutch.
