I will post the results from the pathology report when we get them, it should be about a week. Brett as far as your questions... Our water supply has been from the tap, and from bottled. We switched to bottled water after discovering that the county water has more chlorine in it than our pool normally does.(aging it does not help, it still tests the same three days later) Rats are F/T and have been purchased from a couple of different sources over the last couple of years. We had Gloria since she was a baby and lived in the same location. We purchased her directly from the breeder so this was only her second home. Just a quick note.. our vet is not a real fan of albinos, he believes them to be weaker and much more suseptable to diseases...not that there aren't healthy ones out there. An analogy he has use is....if they were a group of school kids the albino would be the one that caught every cold and runny nose that came through the school.... He was talking about albinos in general, birds, snakes, lizards, not just boas. And he did speculate that because she was a het that her immune system could have been weaker to begin with.....I'm not sure if I agree with him or not. I suppose over the next twenty years, raising some of our albinos and hets, I will find out.
Take care, Kathy & Denny
