@Penny Hen
I'm so sorry you lost your little one. It may not have had anything to do with you at all. Take a deep breath and commit to doing better each time. Unfortunately in this hobby I think we have all had losses and made mistakes. The truth is things happen no matter how hard we try we can't be perfect. Get some sleep I'm praying for you as well.

My little silver cot died. I had been carrying him in my shirt for the day and needed to get some sleep (I am sick). I went to lay him down in the bator and he wiggled out of my hand and fell 18 inches. He seemed all right so I tucked him back into his sock nest and went to bed. I got up 3 hours later and went to tape his curled feet and he was dead. I have determined that we are all masochist at some level. Addicted to the drama of life and death. My peeping egg went silent so I don't know if it is going to hatch or not.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry, I've had it happen before too...Why do they have to be sooo squirmy???? Ugh.
