But this time, it was my fault. It wasn't on purpose, but it WAS my fault. And I feel just awful. I have had my treefrogs for 2 years now and they are healthy and hardy. Well, they WERE... now Oberon is dead, and Mab is a widow.
I had, like, 4 Critters 2 Go shows in a row. Between the 3rd and 4th, I don't know how it happened, but somehow I thought I had put everyone back in their enclosures and tanks. I hadn't. I got up for the 4th party to load everyone into their carriers. Oberon was already there. He was in his carrier, the wet paper towel I always put in with the froggies was bone dry. He was alive, but I was scared. I put him back in the tank, in the pond area at the bottom. I took Mab to the party instead. (I SOMETIMES bring both, but to put less stress on the little guys I have taken to letting them take turns. I do that with the crabs, too. Though I usually take a couple crabs at a time, just not EVERYONE... mostly because someone is always down buried.) I left Oberon to recuperate. He was still alive the next day, and the day after that and I thought maybe he would pull through. But this morning, I found the little guy dead.
I am so sad. Not like ********* dying sad, but sad. Mostly because it was directly related to my negligence! I would feel bad anyway, but because I FORGOT him after a show, he is dead.
I don't know if I will get Mab a new mate. Maybe if I find one exactly her size, but it always seems the reptile expos have babies (that Mab would EAT). and the pet store greens are BIG and would likely eat her.
I just feel so bad. RIP Oberon.
