The other two from this clutch died this week. This is a first for me, to lose an entire group. It really drives home the point that all the best care in the world can't save some of them.
This wild breeding mix must have been a bad combination, if it were genetic. They finally stopped eating and I had to put them down.

Re: High death rate
It's a shame mate. Something tells me though that the hundreds you'll be generating this year will make up for it though
Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

Re: High death rate
As much as I love my radixes I hope I don't have another year like last year. It was close to overwhelming.

That being said, I will not turn any rescues away out of convenience for me.Steve

Re: High death rate
Im sorry to hear, Steve. I dont think there was anything you could have done without a gene-recalculator machine, and its not like you can get 'em at wal-mart. Im sure you'll have a better time this year. *hugs
How'd you do that?! Why'd you do that?! lol its cool! Originally Posted by ConcinnusMan
