To Dan /dpdesign about the baby chuck ;0(

eve Jun 06, 2005 11:07 AM

I'm using my personal username as I have some STRONG opinions as far as this baby chuck.

Dan as you know I recieved him on Saturday (afternoon) I'm SURE he had been dying for quite some time, but is in the last stage NOW.

THIS is so difficult to watch, this little baby, I told JohnE in a personal email this little baby's legs look like a dried up dead worm ya find on the side walk (Baked) there was nothing but flat died brittle bone covered in dried skin.

I don't know where you bought this and PLEASE no names need to be mentioned here, but they ought to BANNED from selling. This is an outrage to take these little babies and sell them in THIS condition .

I'm personally horrified at the POOR condition of this baby chuck. Dan I know you tried your best, I also have devoted my weekend to EVERY possible thing I could think of doing for this baby!

I just had to vent as it SICKENS me to see this and to watch a beautiful perfect baby have to go through this, it has ripped me up to watch him struggle and now gasp for his last freakin breaths of air!

I'm sorry everyone if I have left you with an UGLY picture but you should see the REAL ONE ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

PEOPLE DON'T buy from sellers who have pics of PILES of chucks they caught so they can make a few stickin bucks.

This is the outcome SUFFERING, DEAD CHUCKS !

Poor little guy I was really hoping he'd be able to make it. Having WCs available is a double edged sword, on one hand you're able to own and enjoy all kinds of great herps, on the other hand, the mortality rate is horrible. As sad as it is with the baby, I feel even worse when I see the big guys for sale and think that just a few weeks ago they were the lords of their rock piles... The importation / commercial collection is kind of the ugly side of the hobby. Hopefully in the years to come more people will breed so that CB's can satisfy the bulk of the demand.

It's really too bad about the baby though, I felt sick to my stomach just reading your description of him
