I'm so sorry. We were all rooting for the little guy. I thought for sure he would pull through! Just know you did everything you could for him, and he was absolutely loved. He spent his final days and moments with someone who cared about him and that's all that matters. ❤️
He may of inhaled some fluid in the egg, which could be causing the clicking. But if he looks distressed you can lower it a little bit. Hope the little guy is doing okay!! ❤️
I'm so sorry, I have no idea why the site didn't notify I was tagged here.
If he's still alive, he should be alright. It's likely he was shrink wrapped (since you mentioned he was sticky and not making progress) and when you opened it you caught him mid struggle. I would try to give him some...
