Sounds like a trip to the vet is needed for this one good luck

Resp infection. keep her humidity up and her heat on. you probally need to go to the vet to get some meds. clair is fight weezing atm and may have the same thing

The weezing and frothy mouth are signs of a resp infection. Do you have a cham vet? I know pygmies can be a little tricky to find vets for.

She unfortunately died about two hours after I posted this. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever gone threw seeing her like that
One good thing is that she left me some eggs and one hatched the same day she passed. Poor thing didn't even get to meet her babies.

Sorry to heare that it's so sad i just lost one on the forth as well

So sorry to hear of her passing. First thing I do while making a vet appointment is to take a Q-tip (make sure you smooth the tip so you don't have any stray cotton fuzz, and swab the throat to clear it of mucus. I've never done it on a Brev because I haven't had one with a RI, but I have done it with veileds. It clears their throat so they can breathe.

oh no . at least she left something behind for you. little babies
