Bye bye Stars

samstar · 20-05-2011, 05:35 PM

Just thought I'd share with you'll that I gave away both my lovely Stars to a good friend who has many years of experience keeping torts. Reason being is that the Stars were starting to stress out in the same enclosure as my Radiated's, they were not eating regularly and also the bigger Radiated's were pushing them around at times. Stress would eventually kill the Stars. I dont have more time to build another enclosure for the Stars and to look after them so as much as I am missing them right now as I'm writing this, it's the best thing to do.
Anyway so now it's the two Radiated's which will live happily ever after....

Sam, sorry to hear about this but I think it shows your love and care that you knew this decision had to acted upon, and did that. They will be fine and looked after well I'm sure by your friend, and you can still advise him on things he isn't sure about...as you know the drill. And being able to still see them also will be good for you..

Yes it is what's best for them. However I have learned a lot about Stars this past 2 years and have no regrets.

Dear Rach,
Thanks for the kind words.

very sensible solution. I know this must be a sad time, but you know you have done the best for them. It takes a very caring and devoted person to do what you have
