I'm not sure I would call that SIDS...

By CH I assume you mean Captive Hatched... Based on that I might also assume these are imports being sold as Captive Hatched?

There is several possible explanations for the death after a meal... Considering your are batting 4 for 4 I would wonder how you are thawing your meals and where they came from... If the meal was too hot I can see it causing problems and if it were still frozen on the inside I could see a problem... "Captive Hatched" and imports are notorious for dropping dead unexpectedly with no warning or obvious reason, heck Captive Bred animals can do the same thing... How long did you have these in your care before this happened? It might be that all 4 had an RI and chowing a meal was the final straw...



If these came from an actual breeder I would expect they would make it right with you, but it sounds like they came from a broker and I only know one of that that I would trust...



I would suggest contacting the person that sold them to you and trying to work something out and consider buying Captive Bred babies from someone that is willing to stand by their animals on the next go around...



Good Luck
