Poor Waldo

It's been a heck of a day today. Sandiego arrived, Jessica's rat Little Missy died suddently, and I came home from work to find Waldo had dropped his little tail. I don't know why as he was safe in his enclosure and was otherwise unmarked, but tailless. I suspect Dobby may have been lurking and swatting at him through the container or something. He can't get to them, but he could scare them. And poor Little Missy was just fine last night, scampering around, but this morning couldn't stand up and died with Jess beside her. Jess buried her out back.

sorry for your loss........will Waldos tail grow back??

Unfortunately, no. Cresties don't re-grow their tails. Most adults in the wild are tailless.

that blows marla. one of my house gex dropped their tail when i brought them home, now the one that dropped has a longer tail than the other. wish cresties worked the same way.

Thanks, Will. I guess it was inevitable that I'd have a tailless crestie eventually, but i wasn't prepared for it yet.

Awww man, that's too bad. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks gen.

that stinks in both situations I'm really sorry to hear that.

Awww...so sorry to hear about the tail. What a rough day!

Sorry about Jessica's rat, Marla, but I'm sure Waldo looks just as cute without his tail.
