Why dump a bunch of money into an animal that should have been in proper health at the time of sale? It would be different if he had GIVEN it to you.

Ive actually been struggeling with a similar situation with deciding whether or not to purchase a monitor thats had a history of regurgitating. You gotta hear this...first the people wanted to sell it to me. Since I knew of the health issue, having visited their store last year, I requested to see vet records. They then said that it hadnt seen a vet, but they could have their vet look at it if I wanted to buy it. They insisted that what I had seen in its cage was probaly not a regurgitated rodent, but one that was left uneaten. I responded by telling them that i wanted tests done on it first, and I would be willing to share the costs. Their response was that they now felt that the animal wasnt fit to sell because of the "uncertainty of its health", and they only sell healthy animals. Talk about some shadyness! Im tempted to write them from a different e-mail address, inquiring about buying it, and see if they say the same thing.

Anyways, the point is that I feel the seller should take responsibility for the animals he sells.



Good luck to ya,

Michelle
