Would like to analyze the death, vet commented that:So sorry for your loss! What a sad day
I am so very sorry. I do believe it's nothing you did or used. I think they were started/cared for wrong from hatching until you finally got them. I bet the breeder started them hot and dry.
When your ready to try again, buy from someone that starts them, from hatching with high humidity, the hot and humid way. Not the hot and dry way.
Again, I am so very sorry.
Share what happened and what you have now learned from this forum with the breeder. Hopefully he will take the advice. If he doesn't, at least you tried and will do better for your own.View attachment 186643
Photo of the breeder's enclosure. Just dry hay and uv bulb. I started off with hay too cause that's what he suggested till Tom corrected me when I posted my enclosure. I've learned through the hard way.
Glad it's working out for you. I did it wrong too, but was a lucky one. Didn't lose anyone.Unfortunately several of us on this site have learned the hard way. I did and had my first sully die on me. Thanks to a lot of great people on this site, I took what I learned and decided to get another and now 4 torts later I'm still around and always learning more. Don't blame yourself for what the breeder told you, just take what you can from this site near move forward.
She's gone
2 night ago I left the corpse inside cocopeat in a container, getting ready for burial. Woke up the day after and shell was missing, bloody rat took it. Today I found it next to the microwave. Looks like there's a large piece of calcium stone in there, presumably the cause of death which made her weak and stop eating. I have closure now. Thing is I only sprinkle pinches of cuttlebone twice a weak in small amounts. Or it must be the high calcium diet of bok choy and kale I alternate weekly?
*I give soaks twice a day for 15 mins in the morning and evening, direct sunshine around 9-11am with sufficient shade for atleast 20 mins PER DAY. It could still happen?
