i don't know. she started eating and hanging out all day,so i stopped tubing.then she felt lighter, so i was going to start again.
she escaped and fell 4-5 feet-today she was gone. I had a bad feeling...i am so distraut,words cannot explain.
captivity was never for her.

I'm so sorry, hopefully she'll turn up soon.

She was gone.....sorry, I didn't quite get it at first. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard when you lose a friend...

when i got back and saw her i didn't feel good about things.
then i saw progress and got hopeful.but she still wasn't acting quite right...i was "ready" but i guess i wasn't. I do not believe captivity was for her-i do not believe in "die"-only passing on. I am still devastated.she was my little wildy. i buried her with a shrine of her hides and favorite foods with some "artifacts" to help her find her way. I love you WADI.

all will not acclimate- i say those were not meant for captivity
zube and wadi were the wildest i have had.it's like being in jail and the person can handle it for a while, then gets more agitated everyday until they can't take it-while for some it is a second home (same place/same conditions)-something like that.
