I bought them saturday they were on sale 2 for $10 ( maybe that was the problem)! Yesterday they seemed fine stayed out most of the day and nibbled on some flake food . Today I came home my girlfriend said they were out right before I got home but as of 6:45 pm central time they have been laying on the sand and breathing heavily ! I don't know what to do and ideas . Fresh water dip maybe?

Lost one about a half hour ago :huh: !

The other one is hanging on ! Do you think a fresh water dip will help???

Please anyone!

Also my girlfriend admitted that the were out and looking good around 6pm . She started to vacuum and she said the were imediately spooked by the vacuum cleanner and darted into the rocks. I think maybe the startling stressed them or they may have hit the rocks while fleeing!

I hope this guy makes it !
