Ugh, worst day ever

[acerbity]

So I just got home tonight and checked on my L2-L3 P.paradoxa and the 32 oz cup is completely empty (had about a dozen).

Lid is completely closed, foam stopper intact, but no signs of life, no carcasses, nothing!

Upon shaking the container in fury I see one straggling red ant. :angry:

I believe they wedged themselves down the foam stopper part and had an arthropedic blood bath, then left with fat stomachs.

To add a cherry on top of everything I entered my room to see my Crested Gecko enclosure forced open by my cat, and a long since severed tail on my carpet. I'll verify for sure that he ate it when he passes it in the morning.

I suppose I should take solace in the chance that he was legitimately hungry when he ate it, not just wanting to kill something?

So. Frustrated.

Doing what comes natural. Sucks about either though.

 

[revmdn]

Wow. Sorry to hear that.

 

[tikki]

Wow... I would be tearing my hair out and crying in a dark room if I were you. Sucks so much to lose a pet, even more when the loss is multiplied like that. You have my condolences.

 

[LauraMG]

That sucks! Like Rick said, thus is nature. Makes me grateful that the only thing my cat has gotten into was a full stock of crickets. She just couldn't handle the jumping noise.

 

[ismart]

That does suck! I hate hate days like that.

 

[hibiscusmile]

I feel for ya!
