Poor little guy. Reading these things (like the Munchikins rescue) just makes me so damn mad.

You deserve mega good karma in pet heaven for all your rescues and care you give your animals.

The people that owned this little tiki god before deserve to be treated as they mistreated this little guy. Rant rant rant!

Please keep us posted and I'm pulling for the little guy.

Well, he decided to leave us.

We found him yesterday in the same spot where he fell asleep - but this time he had crossed over. On a good note, we had fed him again the night before, so he went with a full tummy and lots of love. I think it was that comfort that made him decide to let go.

On the other bright side, we do have a full and proper set-up for a gecko now, so we plan on looking for another rescue/unwanted pet. Hopefully, the next one won't be as bad.

And yes, I want to smack the previous owner and starve her for awhile. She needs to know hunger and neglect.

RIP little gecko

I hope you do contact them and tell them how their neglect made it impossible for you to truly rescue this helpless creature. Bastards.

Oh, definitely. I still have the girl's email address. I'll also be sending photos of what a proper set-up should look like, as well as a care sheet of how they should be fed, plus a link to what happens in animal neglect cases. I doubt she'd give a crap, but at least I can do my part to educate her. Maybe she truly was just ignorant, although that's no excuse.

Poor not-kitty

I bet you're right - your love and comfort allowed him to let go.

I think tey knew he was in such poor shape and that's why they wanted to get their money before he died. I may be wrong, but that's the feeling I get.

Poor little guy.

That's what my thought is as well. They seemed really desperate to get rid of him that evening. I hope she never has kids.

No kids and definitely no more animals.

Oh I am so sad! When I left, the little guy hadn't yet been gotten, and now he's gone.

I hate neglect!

I'm glad you made his last day one of nurture...Good on you!
