We lost our first spider :( Poor little Jolie (the smaller of the two versi's we got), she was eating fine and had no issues hunting and all seemed fine. Then the other day she just wasn't climbing anymore, and despite eating regularly she just wasn't plumping up. Went and checked on her the day before yesterday and her legs were curled under, put her in an icu (that was a little easier to check on her), checked on her today and she was all smelly :( Definitely not a husbandry issue, the other sling is thriving (webbing like crazy, eating well, and is looking close to it's 2nd moult with us), just think it was just not meant to be for our little one.

Really sucks, Cade's gonna be heart broken when he finds out (Jolie was his).

He's sad, but he understands that sometimes these things happen. I told him if he wanted I would get him a new one, but he just said he wanted to wait and just enjoy the ones we have, especially Jimmy. I'm still pretty bummed...think I need a bit of T shopping to cheer me up!

Thanks everyone *hug*. We had a bad run of luck. First Jolie passed, and then one of our Guinea Pigs (Cutie) passed away the night before last. Cade is pretty upset :(

Very sad around here. The other Guinea Pig, Nickel, is lost right now. We're giving him a ton of attention and hoping he will not succumb to the depression :(
