    Sad World

    Today my parietalis female died in horrible convulsions. I cut her up immediately and inside her was 6 babies - three is dead (they had almost the same convulsions as the mother, but can't say if it's the same as she suffered from). Three is still alive - pray for them.

    Although I'm not completely sure of the mothers diagnosis - let this be a reminder that you use only safe fish without thiaminese.Apparently heating to 80 degrees and supplementing with mice isn't always enough.

    The male is together with new girls at my friend's house - I hope he will make some nice new babies.

    With a tear in my eye,
    Hitsurfer

    Sorry for your loss dude, but that is pretty amazing that you were able to cut her open and save the 3 babies, she must have been trying to give birth, I wouldn't be so quick to chalk up diet or thiaminase as cause of death, animals and even humans die trying to give birth due to complications, pregnancy can be a risky proposition. Hoping for the best for the 3 survivers.
