I'm having problems with a pair of albino bulls I picked up at Tinley. I've had years of experience raising bulls and pines but this pair of bulls fails to thrive! They can't handle what I would consider good FULL meals. Rather they seem to require smaller meals. They were born back in August. I picked them up in October and I felt they were small but chalked it up to the usual scam of no one regularly feeds their babies they sell. So brought them home and today I was cleaning all my animals and got to the albino bulls. And I realized...they just aren't growing. Still small and skinny. Meanwhile a pair of Indiana locality bulls are now on large hopper mice... The albino bulls this past week were fed scrawny fuzzys and today I find one has this slimy poop with a pile of hair mixed in... I can't win!



So with no knowlegeable herp vet down the street or even two hours away... What is the opinion of you all here is going on? Sure glad I can quarantine stuff! Another pair of bulls I just got in recently from yet another source are taking off and thriving. So I know it isn't just me. It's like their ability to digest and GROW is being seriously impaired.



Just curious if anyone else out there has had similar issues with getting babies you bought from someone else and what the final result was. If they are struggling now, I worry they will never truly thrive and become decent breeders...
