Mr and Mrs have been so much fun but in the last few days Mrs has become ill. She has started having seizures in the morning and have become more frequent as the days go by. We are really scared for her. We initially thought that maybe she wasn't getting enough food or correct nutrients and that caused her to seizure each time her body tried to lay an egg. Currently we think she has been infected with either the West Nile virus or some other neurological disorder. She won't eat or drink and is becoming very skinny and ragged. Today may be her last. It saddens us that she will have to be put down. We hope Mr will be okay. We will miss her.
