Lost little Forest - 02/24/09 07:16 PM
I am so upset, it's hard to write this. We just moved to a new place that had been freshly painted. I thought I was doing the right thing by leaving the gliders one more night in the old house. Everyone was fine when I fed them around 8 pm. I went back this morning at 7 am and found Forest on the floor of the cage. He was all intact, just cold and had passed. His twin sister, Sky was in the pouch with Mom & Dad and all the other gliders were fine, including Selena who came oop over Valentines as well. I know Mother Nature knows best, but I feel so bad! Like if I had been there I could've saved him or something! He was only 9 days oop and I failed him! I am devastated. I wish I would have brought them here. At least I would have heard him crying, if he did cry. The vet wouldn't do a necropsy because he was so small and they wouldn't know what to look for. They said it was obviously natures way and to just let it go! Deep down I kow this too, but it is still so hard to deal with. i didn't want to believe what I was seeing this morning. Sorry for such a long vent, but I know some of you here have dealt with this and will understand.
