Unfortunately he died that day, and another one started to develop similar bumps, so I removed him/her immediately and started a particular kind of antibiotic that treats intestinal infections. Well, it did the trick. The bumps are gone and he looks great. I also ordered a new batch of crix. None of the others are developing any sign of it, so I am hopeful that it was just an intestinal bacterial issue. If it comes back, I will get them to the vet.

The problem with these guys is that they are so small! They are really only three months old at the most. They are growing like crazy and look really good, but they were less than two inches total when they got here, well, when the live ones arrived. I really don't think the vet could even draw blood. Well, lets hope we've seen the end of it.

Thanks so much for caring! I will keep you posted and will post pics of them all soon.
