I rescued Gertie during early Covid from people who no longer wanted her. She eats and then eats then eats some more. She is growing and active and funny. She is thriving and I am so happy.
That said I purchased a wild caught (never again I now understand the issue with that) female Russian as a companion. Her name was Henry.
She was overnight shipped and seemed in rough shape when she got here. I had her for less than two weeks and she died yesterday. RIP Henrietta. I don’t know what I did wrong. She didn’t seem to recover from the shipping. I soaked her. I tried leaving her alone. She never ate a thing and barely moved. I’m 95% sure she is dead with Rigor Morris. Her limbs don’t move at all. Eyes sunken in. Is shipping the worst thing!? I can’t believe I did that now. Heartbroken that I caused this.
