Found a dead baby WD yesterday

spring Aug 17, 2003 10:38 AM

I found one of my 21 baby WD dead yesterday ...
I have no idea what could have happened that's why I'm writting this post . He was not injured , and seemed fine except the fact that he was dead . Strangely , he was lying on his back and his eyes were a bit open ...
I've seen none of my young dragons showing aggressive behaviour so I really don't think that he could have been mistreated by the others . If somebody knows what could have caused his death , please tell me .

p.s. My 20 remaining babies are doing fine , and are enjoying the waterfall I put in their viv yesterday

The WD may have fell and broke its spine. When my Wd's were sick my vet said to be aware of that risk. I am sorry to hear about your loss. 20 babies! how exciting! Keep us posted.
