A reminder

Things don't always go to plan...

This is from my first clutch of the season, first Albino baby, and... it died in the egg.

Don't count your eggs before they hatch.

You are dealing with live animals... and nothing stays alive forever.

Awh that sucks Heather.

I hope you have better luck with the rest.

Aww so sorry that happened :(

I'm so sorry. I know this happens, but it's always a sad, sad thing.

Thanks Heather.

Sad fact of life with any living creature.

Makes the ones that pip an even better gift

im sorry to hear that i know it has to suck to loose a lil baby.

Sorry to see that but the rest of the clutch will be full of healthy, hungry babies.

Sorry to hear that Heather, never an uplifting sight....

Here's wishing you good luck with all of your other clutches this year. All 14, well that's the last count I saw.... ;)

Sorry to see that Heather and as always....Thanks for the good advice.
Best of luck moving foward

Bummer. He was a looker to. Poor little fella. :(

Heather. I am so sorry this happened to you. It is a very sad thing to loose a baby. My heart goes out to you.

Sorry about that Heather. It really bites when that happens.

Im so sorry buddy, Lets just hope the rest of the season stays on the up and up :)

sorry to see that heather. hope you have the best of luck from here on.

Sorry!
Mike.

Heather, what a sucky thing to happen. :tears: :hug:

So sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear that. :tears:

Awwww.....Sorry! It sucks! I remember breeding dogs and having to deal with puppies who passed......never a good time, and I'm usually a mess for days...:tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears:

Im sorry Heather, best of luck with the rest. Little one was a looker for sure.

That sucks! I guess it is something that just happens and we have to accept it when it does...Sorry 'bout the little one.

So sorry to hear that :( Hang in there...like you said there is no guarantee.

Sorry girl. Your right, you never know... :hug:

That sucks! Sorry to hear that. I hope the others are doing fine?

Heather I've already said it but I still feel for you things will look up in you future hatchlings

Sorry to hear that Heather. I definitely don't need a reminder of that, as it seems to happen to me a couple times a year, however, it is a great reminder for the plethora of beggining breeders we have on the site. It's a hard pill to swallow, especially when it is something you are really looking forward to, but it is reality. I apologize once again for your loss, but I have faith that the "Gods" will reward you in the near future. I always seem to get rewarded for the losses.

Sincerely,

It happens and when it does it sucks so I hope your others hatch out okay!

I am sorry Heather. It's the reality of this hobby. :(

Well I KNOW that you have some goodies cookin over there. ;) I bet you hit it big with the rest of your eggs!!! :winner:

More is usually given for what is taken away, so keep those fingers crossed for the good stuff you've got coming.

Sorry to hear about this little one, do you have any idea about why it might have died?

Man Heather this must have had you super busy with the excitement of the first hatchlings and the DR appointment and then the sad event along with The Joel's accident I will keep you in my thoughts I look forward to seeing you next weekend

I'm so sorry to hear about that, I hope your luck improves!

Damn, not what I wanted to see...especially an albino.......

Sorry H

Thanks everyone for the sympathy.

It was a hard hit to take last night.. Been a rough week.

As for why? I'm not sure.

There is a LOT of yolk left, and the other two in the clutch are fine (with less yolk), so I'm trying to determine if it was just lack of nutrients, or something else, but in reality it is all speculation.

Sad times, it's has never been easy, and it continues to not be, but... it happens, and you have to be prepared.

RIP, little one.

I wouldn't stress it Heather, it's a natural part of life. Even in our unnatural enviroments with our "optimal conditions" nature will always show you who's boss at the end of the day.

Sorry for your loss...:(

That stinks, sorry :(
Mabey in a future clutch you will get something good to even out your luck...

Im so sorry for your loss Heather. Here's some GL your way for some amazing, healthy & hungry hatchlings!!!
