Today I got home from work and checked on all my children as I always do. Sadly I found Arminius, my male dragon had passed away. He had showed no signs of illness just passed (I assume) peacefully during the night. I gave him a burial between the pear and apple trees in the back yard.
I was disappointed that a mere 5 of his and Boudica's 27 eggs hatched and none of the babies survived so I went back to their breeders and ordered another male and second female to double down on my chances.
Meanwhile I moved Boudica into another tank and disinfected their old one. Instead of using sand as a substrate this time I'll be using rabbit feed pellets. Maybe Arminius swallowed too much sand and got impacted. Rabbit feed is all veggie so any they ingest can be digested and passed.
