Awww that's a shame. Poor things, but at least most are ok.

Yeah landlord kicked the guy out switched them all off and left them cold for a few days. Pretty immature thing to do. Adult cobalt blue wasn't far off.dead 15 slings dead and the other 9 not far off looked a lot perkier this morning after being warmed and sprayed last night.

Can anyone recommend a good caresheet

I had a thread about h.gigas previously as I couldn't keep them alive as slings!! they must just be really tempermental! glad to hear you came to the rescue.
H.gigas are incredibly aggressive burrowers, not scared of anything including humans and they will go straight for any opening if disturbed, they eat well and are the colour of rust (hence the common name).
