    Default Rest in Peace Babygirl

    Two days ago, my first Gecko ever, stopped eating. Today she looked horrible. Really bad. She couldn't move. We took her to the vet and they said the only thing they could do was to put her to sleep.

    I'm so sorry. You made the two weeks I had you the best of my life. I am still crying. Please wait for me at the rainbow bridge. Please.

    I'm so sorry.

    Did the vet have any idea what it was that caused those spots on her face?

    No idea. The spot was gone... Like gone gone. She thought that it had been months of not getting enough calcium. It makes me feel a little better to know it wasn't my fault.

    I'm so sorry... It's amazing how quickly we get attached to these little critters isn't it? She was lucky to be with you for her last couple weeks...

    I'm very sorry for your loss, but I'm curious, where did you get your girl from? A breeder? A pet store? Do you know what her care and diet was before you got her?

    I got her from a breeder. I had been researching to get one for about a year. I fed her the rapshy super diet. I don't know what she was eating before I got her.

    Thank you guys. I loved her. I should get her ashes sometime this week, but I'm not sure what to do with them. I'll most likely keep them.
