Yes thats a good way to view it sorry didnt know they stll had some in stock.
Your right they need to be taken off sale and straight to the vets even if they dont think anything is wrong with them.

OK, we have spoke to the shop some more, and have decided the best route is to send the babies back to the breeder for treatment. As the breeder has his own trusted vet.

We have agreed on weekly updates with photos so we can make sure they are treated.

As neither me nor my wife are experts we thought this was the best course of action. did we do right?

Update:

The news doesn't look good, the breeder and vet think it is Crypto. Tests are being carried out now...... just praying it isn't.

More bad news is alot of the group that were sold are showing the same symptoms (12 so far), but owners and shops with the rest have been informed and warned.

We just feel kinda useless, not knowing, not being able to help the poor guys. I hope the official prognosis is better.
