my beloved gecko Erik just died!

frida Sep 28, 2003 05:01 AM

he has been sick from inpaction now for some weeks and today when i picked him up to see ho he was doing,
after having him up some minutes he started to shake, ooo my poor gecko. and so he died in my hand,
I'm very sad right now. he was a such pretty gecko!
and the male i was supposed o mate all my females with... now i don't have a good male.
this isn't a good day today, a awfull way to see your disapear, he was extremly sick and thin. for each day he has become just thiner and thiner, he sertanly looked terrible,
Yesterday I almost thought he would survive since i manage to get all sandpoop out of him!
I feel terrible right now, an advice to all of you geko lovers out there, DON't USE SAND!

I hope this never happen to anyone else, this is really terrible.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about Erik. It's always heartbreaking to lose a pet you have cared for so long. I will follow your advice not to use sand. I knew that using sand would be too risky.

I feel so bad for your gecko. :^( I hope you cheer up some I don't like to see a sad face. I know who you feel I feel the same way when one of my pets die I have them so long than when they get to the age when they can't live no more they die. I have had that happen to me alot. I have also have had it happen to me with sick pets. I love my pets and I want to be a vet some day.
