Sad news today

The little sick one died after almost a month of force feeding and tlc... I woke up yesterday and found him collapsed, soon after he pasted away. The big one is still healthy and feeding well. I have no idea why the little one had such a decline after his birth. We'll never forget him.

Sorry for your loss, sometimes the runt of any litter even of dogs and cats have a hard time, some make it and others don't, it's natures way, I'm sure you did the best you could. Glad to here the other is doing fine. One thing about horned lizard once they get sick they are often very hard to bring back to normalcy, but being a runt he may have not been as suited to making a go of it as the others. In nature he probably might not have lived this long. Cheers!!
