Cute little guy though.

Hope you can get this guy nice and fat. Props on saving this little one from an agonizing death. Freezing is an inhumane archaic method.
Good luck.

I would agree with you but then again I was taught to not even fillet a fish without smacking it in the temple fast and hard with a hammer first and remove the head quickly to sever the spinal cord so that they aren't filleted alive. Most people just fillet them alive without thinking twice about it. I suppose it's the same with breeders. Each one has their own way of doing things. I don't have to agree with it or like it but if someone leaves me a mess, I'm not going to just leave it lay there. I personally didn't want to see him go into a freezer without someone even trying to assist feed him.

In my opinion, if you are breeding them, they're your responsibility to try anything and everything within reason before giving up. I can see that some breeders have too many animals to bother with a few that won't eat on their own or needs special attention, but that's really not the animals fault nor should it be their problem. It should not be used as a forgivable excuse. If she knew she wasn't going to bother, she should have let him go to a new home a long time ago before he got this bad. If you have tried everything you could, then I would say it would be appropriate to put them out of their misery, NOT let them lay there and just starve half to death first and only then decide to stick them in a freezer.
