ive had about 8 or 10 balls over the years and just never had any luck keeping them.it seems like like ive done well with every type of animal on the planet other than balls!i am wanting more maybe i just got some bad ones.

Were you buying at crappy local petstores or from breeders.

(By crappy local stores I mean poorly run Petcos etc)

Maybe you just got bad animals. Very possible.

The one pictured has a retained shed on the head and neck....you might want to give it a soak in warm (75-78 degree) water for an hour or so. Then help him/her to shed that off.

Yeah they said that in the other line they already did. They just took the picture before. They were on the right track, but just excited.

You might wanna get the shed off it's head and neck!

ya it shed that day. gave it a quick bath and it came right off!
