I'm so devastated. I contacted the breeder. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know what caused it.

With him dying so soon, with no other symptoms but refusing food, chances are it's not your fault. The only thing I could think of on your end would be a temp spike....

Please consider getting a necropsy done, it will give you and the breeder answers, and easier to hold them accountable depending on the outcome. Getting necropsies done also helps our hobby as a whole by adding knowledge of ailments and their commonality.

I am hoping it's not too late to preserve his body, make sure to store it in a fridge not freezer. If it is too late, then communication with the breeder is your best bet to get answers. I'm so so sorry for your loss.

Thank you everyone. I found the source. It wasn't the breeder, twas' I. My little cousin came over two days ago and now checking over everything the UTH wasn't plugged into the thermostat, so it was off. I really can't pay until two weeks due to paying for the snake stuff myself and my parent's being tight on money. I know, not ideal, but it's only because my horse had an expensive vet bill to take care of. I generally peek in every 20 minutes because I'm a worry wort but I've been in the hospital and wasn't able to do so, owner error. I hope I didn't make it sound like I wanted a free animal. I told them (not in exact words) that I know it was my fault and if we could work something out for another purchase that would be great and I understand it's out of their control once the animal leaves their shop/home. I'm not sure quite what to do with the body as so much look at it. There was absolutely no signs of him shutting down or anything that I know of, but, it may have happened and I was too sick to realize. Again, thank you all. Endlessly waiting on the breeder for a reply but we did exchange some emails back and forth earlier today about it.
