Cricket died
When I woke up this morning to feed Cricket I noticed that he was dead. His little face was stuck to the side of his terrarium, dried “emergency care” food serving as a glue of some kind. I don’t know what finally did him in, but he had significant disease and I suppose I was simply not equipped to deal with it.
He was still warm and soft to the touch, but we have so many heat lamps that this does not surprise me.
I set him up like he’s sleeping and my wife and I will tell the kids later tonight.
First we lose the hermit crabs, now we lose our bearded dragon. I don’t know if I’m ready for another pet.
