I am so sorry for your loss. Don't blame yourself accidents happen no matter how careful we are.

I'm so sorry Tammy

I went to Lowes and Rural King. Neither carry vinyl coated hardware cloth. Any other suggestions? I did buy a roll of galvanized wire but I just can't make myself use it for some reason. My gut won't let me so I figure I read somewhere that I can't use it for this purpose.

What scares me is this almost happened to me...I was playing with my gliders on the stairs, trying to get them to glide down, and my little girl, Cessna, decided she wanted to bound away down the hall to the bathroom, when I went in there to get her, she was bouncing around and just then fell into the toilet...I pulled her out right as she hit the water, she was very unhappy, so I took her back to the cage to her pouch...
I am sooo sorry for your loss, I would have been devastated if I have waited a few minutes to see if my baby'd come back...
Again, I'm sorry for your loss!

I got mine (green PVC coated wire / hardware cloth) at Home Depot-but seems some have it and some don't...it's the only place I've found it here.

Interesting if sad statistic-at the SGGA 2 years ago, well, I guess 3 now--the #1 cause of accidental death for a glider was drowning in a toilet, according to the death database report.

I haven't said before-but I'm sorry for your loss.

OMG I just stumbled across this post and now I am in tears. I cannot fathom how you feel. I am so sorry this happened, as everyone said, this is not your fault, you obviously loved your girl. One thing, if at all positive that may come out of this, is I am right now at this moment, not only going to put signs up in our bathrooms, but going to shop online and buy ladders. Bless your poor little heart.
