Gotta love 'em!
Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone.
I was thinking about those who've posted about their losses, and was thinking about you and your beautiful Anery Stripe yesterday while going through it... guess it was the Anery Stripe connection. I really hope all goes well with her eggs. Let us know.
I'm so happy to hear about the beautiful baby from your girl. Congrats! I know it doesn't make up for her loss, but I'm glad she left a healthy little one behind for you.
I agree with you there. It's my opinion that she wouldn't have made it no matter what was done... be it leaving her to try and start laying them again or whatever. I don't think it's usual to have them die 2 days after becoming egg bound. By the way, I just love her man. Thanks... he's such a handsome Hypo Blood.
It's sure great to have the support and help from this forum. I've learned so much since starting this hobby. I really appreciate all the thoughts and experiences shared by the members. Thanks to all for your contributions.

I'm having the most horrible deja vu right now.
Earlier this year I lost my Anery Stripe after she laid two eggs.

oh~ that so sucks! I'm so sorry to hear it.
If it's any consolation~ I think you did the right thing~ benign neglect had a good chance of working~ I've been beating myself up wishing I had tried it longer with my Butter at Easter.
Incubate the eggs and hope for the best. Out of the 20 something that came from my poor butter girl~ there are still 5 that look good. Only two more weeks~ give or take.
again~ I'm SO sorry to hear about your pretty girl~ try to concentrate as much as you can on all thats gone right this season~ all the other healthy clutches. Good Luck with them all!

So sorry to hear of your loss.
And it is even worse when it is one of your favorites!
They usually don't go downhill so quickly when they are eggbound - seemed to go pretty fast. But you did everything you could. Sometimes these things just happen.
Hope you can get at least one baby to hatch to have something of her to remember her by.

I feel for you Joni, I lost a few this last year.. A butter late last fall, I really liked the animal, and then my FAVORITE out the whole collection and recently had a hatchling escape that had a lot of meaning behind it.. The butter I was upset about, my favorite, I didn't sleep that night and actually found myself depressed, and the latest, I never slept the night we found it missing and have been relativly irritatble for the last week because of where it came from and how it was bestowed upon me and Jen.. I can honestly relate, and if I had a similair animal to offer you I would offer it to you, unfortuanatly I don't..
Regards, Tim of T and J

I'm so sorry to hear that, Joni. I wish you the best of luck with those eggs.

Thanks for the kind words.
Cheryl, don't beat yourself up. You did the right thing. I remember the pics of your girl, and her egg-binding was so bad with one egg even turned perpendicular to the oviduct... just a big train-wreck of eggs. You aspirated and did whatever you could for her. Your Butter's situation was terrible, I'm sure she was in lots of pain, she couldn't help herself, and you did what was best.
Tim... thanks for sharing. I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I know everyone goes through it, so it's nice to know people understand how hard it is to lose a favorite. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your butter, and I hope the recently excaped hatchling will show up. By the way, how kind to offer a similar animal if you had it!
I hope you don't have to deal with egg-binding either. I was worried about a couple of my others, but really didn't think it'd be a problem with her... I bought her earlier this year. She was 495 grams and laid 16 good eggs last year with no problems. So, it really taught me that you just never know.
