Baby #03 (Male)
Alone among the major rainbow venders (at least so far as I know), Living Gems holds all its babies for at least two sheds to make sure everything is in good working order before a baby ships out. Sadly, this time there was a hidden issue, and Baby #03 passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in early December. As we always do with an unexpected death, we had a necropsy done to rule out any risks; and as suspected, the vet saw nothing dangerous. I suspect this little guy just happened to have a subtle internal defect that cut his life short. While I regret he never made it to adulthood, I’d much rather have this happen on our watch than yours.
RIP, little man. We will miss you. |

| Thank you. I'm really sad to lose one, and had to least mark the fact he was here, however briefly. |
