Runt is gone...

[RobbiesCornField]

Poor little Runt... I watched him/her pip on July 8th, 2008...

and crawl out of the egg...

s/he was so very tiny...

Because s/he wouldn't eat, I tried to take as few pictures as possible, and tried to avoid handling to stress him/her out. After two months of not eating, I began force feeding. Unfortunately, the only pinkies that were offered at the local reptile shops were WAY too big, so I had to go with hatchling anoles. I'd been assist feeding since September 1st. Today, when I opened the tub to clean, s/he was gone...
R.I.P. Runt... I'll miss ya...

Aww, Robbie....I'm so sorry. What a tiny little peanut. RIP little Runt.

I never had a chance to weigh him/her, but my best guess was right at about 2 grams or less.

I know how hard it is when you've tried so hard to give them a chance.
