With luck someone might go looking for it and find it otherwise all you can do is wait and I know how frustrating that will be.

Yeah i hope...I just called the post office in anaheim CA where it was last recorded. they said it was sent to baltimore 2 days ago. I called baltimore post office and they said they never recieved it but was showing it should have been there 2 days ago. So i guess its lost! :( i hate it when i am pissed and helpless! dont know what the hell to do with myself.
Try not to worrie too much it could still turn up safe and well,I read a post a while back on another forum about a T that went missing in the Canadian postal system for something like 3 months and turned up safe in the end...

If it's in a van in a postal depot it should be warmer.

Aww, I'm so sorry. The seller should be able to claim back from USPS in which case they should be able to send you another.

And it's not silly to feel that way about a T you'd never met but I know how bad I felt watching my little one die so soon after it came, only 5 hours.

Oh no, I'd be gutted, too. I agree, definitely contact the seller about it.

Not sure how to dispose of the body. trash and flushing seems wrong. and it seems to much to bury it. :confused:

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that,I was holding out hope the little guy would arrive alive and well.

I know what you mean, I haven't decided what to do with mine either. I have a pot of plants outside the front door and I'm thinking of burying them in there.
