My poor lil non eating scrub

[lauwersp]

Is basically dead.

I tried feeder guppies a couple days ago (although the smallest I could find were bigger than the itty bitty ones in Steves video) and while he/she was uninterested, she was energetic and tried climbing the sides of the container.

Today, she is so close to dead that if I hadn't seen her head twitch, she would appear dead. I even left her head upside down for a few minutes to see if she'd right herself. She didn't.

I may try to mash up some silverside and mix with a bit of ReptoLife plus and syringe it into her... but I guess I'm going to have to accept the fact that there is nothing I can do. Can't help but be sad... he/she was one of the most colorful (which I know in the grand scheme of things is completely irrelevant).

The other 12 are doing just fine.

I would try that syringe to see if it would make any difference as a last ditch effort.I'm sorry to hear about the situation the little one is in.

Sometimes nature has to take its course, I am sorry.

I would also try the syringe at this point to see if it will make a difference...but it might not at this point. Has she been drinking? Make sure there is some water mixed in with the food to hydrate her in case she is dehydrated...not too much though...just a little. I'm so sorry about this. You tried everything you could. She will be at peace soon. You are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear this... I,too, would try the syringe as a last ditch effort knowing it probably won't work. Sorry...

Ok. I think she's dead. No breathing. No movement at all. My girlfriend says im in denial but I wanna wait just a little bit before I take any action.

Yea... Very sad about it but I know it is nature and the circle of life. I also know that I need to remember how privileged 12 healthy scrubs are. Thanks for all the support everyone.

That is so sad But at least she had someone to love her and wasn't out in the cold harsh world alone.
