Hi everyone I'm new to posting here but I'm really freaked out and need to know if anyone has dealt with this....My hubbie and I got home from our jobs thursday and were checking on all the "kids" to see who needed to be cleaned and who needed water etc... Hubbie starts telling me how that morning when he was looking to see if one of the smaller females we had had regurged(she had done this 3-4 times before)and he saw her have a seizure.He took her out and she had another one in his hand. He put her back, raised the heat and went to work.As he's telling me about this he pulls out her container and she's dead. Before we thought about taking her in to have her autopsied he threw her out. I called a reliable store and was told "no its not normal" (didn't think it was) but was also told my whole collection was now at risk and could be wiped out. This female was purchased with 2 sibling females (one of which went to a friend and is doing very well).The other 2 were kept here and were kept together since that is how they were previously kept. They were kept away from the rest of the "kids" for around 2 1/2 months before being brought into the same area.One of the girls regurged a few times and we separated them to figure out who was doing what. The female we lost was much skinnier then the other 2(all 3 were thin when we got them).Has anyone dealt with this before????Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.Thanks.
