Survival chances?

[Borderjumper]

So I can home tonight and my most special (to me) pink tail trigger was on the floor. Actually he didn't end up on the carpet, he ended up in a big flat empty bin.

That bin is prolly what saved him, as the carpet would have wicked moisture faster.

He looked totally dead, except when I bent down to scoop him he flicked his trigger. I filled the bin with water, and he started breathing after a while, and then after half an hour he cold kinda right him self.

I figured he had the best chance being put back in the tank so he could go into his rock and pin himself upright, which he instantly did.
If he dies I'm screwed as I will have to take mt vaZOOvious apart to get his body. but I wanted him to have a chance.. Sometimes this hobby truly sucks.
