Daniel,
thanks for the update... Can I just say that much as I can see where people are coming from with occasionally over the top remarks, it SHOULD be clear that an animal is unwell well before it gets to the stage this leo was in. Now, we all need to start somewhere I agree, but my 2nd and 3rd leos were very small hatchlings which with hindsight I now know I should never have taken home. They had MBD and other parasite problems and both died within 3 wks of me getting them..... Now - am I a bad boy for that, no. Because I realised they were not coming along properly and took them to a vet and had them treated, but by the time that happened it was too late. It is a very fine line in making 'the call' regarding vet treatment as if you took every Leo to a vet every 2 days they don't feed, you may be there all the time. However - if after 'several weeks' they are lethargic, not eating, losing weight then that is clearly neglect IMO. If a horse/dog/cat showed similar signs what would you do ? If you or a person you knew were like that what would you do ? I'd say apply this sort of criteria to all your reps.... It's not right that something isn't eating long term and is slowing down. Get a 2nd opinion if you aren't sure from a professional, don't vome on here asking 'is this ok'..... If you're asking, it probably isn't is it ??

Telling someone who is genuinely distressed and trying to help their animal that they should be ashamed of themselves? You're a pr*ck. Of course you should be financially able to look after an animal. However, a few weeks after buying one, i wouldn't expect to be forking out for vets bills. People often aren't told this and if anything it should be the shops fault for not pointing this out. And maybe the person isn't an expert in knowing what looks healthy and what doesn't. It's especialy hard to tell when they're so small and when you're not handling them yet. So again, f**k you, and again, you're a pr*ck. This guy did the right thing by coming here asking for help and if you haven't got any for him, don't speak.

Just hate it when a*se holes think they have the right to lay into someone who has either made a mistake or doesn't have the experience to know if something's wrong.
We were all "noobs" at one time. You learn by asking questions and doing research. This guy did the right thing by coming here and asking. It was just unfortunate that it was too late.
