Baby Remy has past over the rainbow bridge. He spent his last moments being comforted. I don’t regret trying to save him and believe he would have been fine if not for the cold he had. Please know he was not in pain because he was on pain killers at the time.

Very sorry to hear that. Remy was definitely a cutie.

So sorry, Destben.
I often wondered how many of those "feeder" animals are healthy enough to survive a long life.
They have it rough right from the start.
I'm sad for you. But I completely understand wanting to help out a helpless animal.

Thank you. He was doing really well and was eating really good again, but Upper Respiratory Infections are deadly and he was still week from not eating so I believe he just couldn't handle it at that point. But I honestly believe he would have made it if not for both of those things happening so close together. I'm absolutely heart broken about it, but I have 5 other animals that need me so I have to keep moving and treat them all with as much love as possible, because you never know what will happen. This is the price we pay for loving these animals so much.

It's incredible to me that our species has the ability to commit genocide on their own tribe but our species is also capable of going to great length to save the life of a creature that has been considered vermin. It's heartbreaking.

He lived a much longer and happier life than he would have as someone else's feeder animal! I'm glad he was able to have a nice end to his happy life. I'm really sorry for your loss! :(

I take mine to the vet a lot for check ups and stuff lol . I have 2 dogs (One is deaf and gets ear infections and had ear mites, worms and fleas when we picked him up from the pound) 2 snakes One we rescued Saturday (she’s under weight and sickly from petsmart care), a baby mouse (he went to make sure he’s hydrated mostly), and a leopard tortoise names Torterra who was a frequent flyer due to the wrong set up in the beginning (Tom straightened me out). I just like to rescue if I can and they seem to not always be in the best health.

Oh my word. Your snakes are beautiful. I could never keep snakes as my husband would move out. You have quite the handful.

Oh shame. I am sorry that he has gone over. You gave it everything you had.

I don't agree. Not at all. Prey species, and food animals should always be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Their welfare right up until the moment of humane euthanasia should be of paramount concern, and their lives and well being are just as important as the animals they are being fed to.

There is absolutely no excuse for mistreating food animals or allowing them to suffer. None.

Nicely said, Tom!!!!!! [emoji2][emoji106]

Wow, that's true about the snakes being beautiful. Especially that little piebald python!

Her name is Anna. shes a cold blooded killer when hungry and a cuddle bug the rest of the time. I wouldn't hold her when I had Remy because she would smell him on me easy and perk up like she was getting fed. My husband didn't believe me so I walked up to her cage after feeding Remy formula and putting him away in his cage and I said "watch this". I opened the door and waved my hands toward the hide she was in and sure enough her little snake snoot popped out of her hiding place. My husband laughed so hard.
