emergency need help

bloodroses19 Jan 07, 2006 12:15 AM

i checked on my uro spike and he looked like he had just died. but was still warm and not stiff. i rubbed him ,nothing, i soaked him in a warm bath, nothing. so i figured he must have just died but to be sure i put hm back under his heat light to wait for him to stiffin up before i burried him. well its been a few hours and he is the same way. he does not seem to be breathing and odly feels like jello. he is not stiff at all! is he dead? its 1 in the morning. i dont know what to do. is it possible that he went into hibernation? wouldnt he wake up from me rubbing and soaking him if he was? the temps have went down a little with it being cloder but not a whole lot. i dont know what to do. i love him so much.

What were the prior indications? I haven't seen these guys suddenly go to "dead" without an observable decline. You might consider a vet... if you've not identified anything wrong until now then it's unlikely you'd have any way to help him.
