parasite I'm sure...

see, this is why this website needs Phil here. he would know what that is and go off on some tangent for 30 mins about it.

I miss my Phil. /cry

not sure

the day before she died she was fine

mind u, her last infertile ooth was about 2 weeks prior to her death

then she was upside down on the floor of the cage with this sticking outa her

thought she was dead but when turned upright she moved a bit, never tried to remove it, it's still in her in the freezer
