sad story

ish Jan 12, 2004 11:44 AM

My one uromastyx was a little bigger than my other one and I caught him chewing on the others tail. We seperated the two of the but the younger one was so stressed out that s/he? stopped eating and just died before the holidays. We tried to get it to eat and even soaked it in water to keep it hydrated but the little critter just kept getting smaller and eventually died.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I'VE RECENTLY LOST MY MALE SOMALI DUE TO POOR SHIPPING. I'M AFRAID I'LL BE LOSING THE TWO FEMALES THAT CAME WITH HIM. **NOTE**: NEVER TRUST POSTAL SERVICE, THEY'LL LIE ABOUT DELIVERY TIME.

bummer deal to lose your critters due to delivery. Are you going to try to have the post office replace them. I've never had a problem with my critters being delivered. The only problem has been getting my crickets during the summer without having them getting fried in the back of the UPS or USPS trucks.
