    Unhappy Sad sad week...

    On the morning of the 31st, the blue moon, Jr passed away unexpectedly...He had eaten the day before and was feisty as ever. I had been house sitting and he was staying with my mom. She called me bawling thinking she had done something to kill him, but she hadn't. She followed my istructions carefully. She came in to the room in the morning to turn his light on and he was on his back...she flipped him over, but he wasn't moving much. She sprayed him and called me. I didn't get to be there when he passed which I'm still upset about...I cryed for hours over him. I know it sounds weird to cry for a frog, but I had him for a year and loved him a lot. He had just turned a year old in july and I had him a year on august 16th. There were no warning signs... The mites got to him and he just couldn't recover from this last bout with them. I couldn't get rid of them for the life of me, or for the life of Jr...I don't think I'm going to get another frog for the time being. I'd still like to come on and read posts and look at everyone's bumpy buddies though. I'll miss Jr a lot. He was a neat little guy and had just started getting bigger, he nearly filled his water dish

    I am so sorry for you loss Guenhwyvar! It is always hard to lose a beloved pet; his being an amphibian has nothing to do with it. Take your time and grieve. You will know when you are ready. Of course we would still love to have you on the forum!

    Again, I am very sorry for your loss. RIP JR.

    Sorry for your loss It's not weird to cry over a frog, most people just never spend enough time working with them to understand why someone would get that attached.

    That's such a shame, it always hurts to see something you cared for dies on you. Sorry for your loss, Guenhwyvar.

    Why would you assume this GRABibus?? What a rude way to phrase it.

    Guenhwyvar, I am very sorry for your loss. We all understand the tears.......pretty sure we have all experienced the same.

    Seconded.

    I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. It's normal to feel like giving up on the hobby after something like that, but I would encourage you to try again. These things happen, and you can still get lots of joy from another frog in the future when you're ready to give it another try.
