I found Sayen, my female blood het charcoal, dead yesterday evening. 2 losses this year from out of brumation and 2 RI cases. Not my year. I hope the rest will go better. She was bought last year and was still a bit small. She refused to eat after her first meal and 2 weeks later, she is found dead.
So since I was planing of breeding her to Swami, my pewter male and the other breedings he will do are for hets babies, it seems I will not produce pewters this year after all...
That's a shame, i feel for you. It's not pleasant loosing a pet especially when there no reason or warning. I hope the rest of the breeding season goes better for you......

Oh Caroline, I'm so sorry to hear about this loss. Such a shock to you for sure. This year was the first that I tried any sort of brumation and it was only for 4 weeks. I was worried the whole time.
Dang this 'Winter of '07'; it's taking its toll on a few Canadian breeders.
Hope the rest of the breeding season goes perfectly for you. You deserve it.
Darn, Caroline. I'm so sorry to hear about Sayen! I bet she was a beautiful girl, and would have made some gorgeous little pewters. I hope the rest of the 2007 breeding season goes well for you.
So sorry to hear this Caroline - always hard to lose one of the collection. I was very nervous the first year that I brumated but have never had any health problems resulting from it. Hope the rest of your group does well and those with RI recover,
mary v.
