I'm glad to hear the post sent out awareness about the thermometers possibly breaking in a tank or in a fish mouth. I'm glad to hear your baby Stewie is going strong. I still get a kick out of us naming our puffies the exact same name! Porcupine puffers are soOoOo very adorable when they are just babies. They are sooOo curious too. Keep an eye on your little one.

I would think it shouldn't matter what kind of animal it is... I would hope it wouldn't matter anyways. Im not saying freezing is right (it is infact inhumane), I just think the species or attachment level should be inconsequential in such a decision-making process.
