Sorry for you loss. If you do decide to get another ball, check out some of the caresheets on here to get a proper setup and get a baby from a breeder instead of a pet store. Many of the ones from the pet stores are already malnourished and dehydrated making it harder to get them going well. It's easier to start out with a healthy animal that you know the background on than one from the pet store. I never realized how true that was until I compared my girl to the ones I saw at Petco.
