New additions help!
Got a few new additions today and had a question about it. They were shipped over night, and the hub they were sent to had a pretty good snow storm yesterday. By the time I got them and pulled them out of the bag, they felt ice cold, to the point that I thought they were dead. I got them out, they were flicking their tongues around, but were pretty sluggish. I got the temp gun out and hit their body with it, got about 62 degrees on both of them.
Is this temp and the fact that it was less than about 10 hours shipping time total still in the range that they will be okay once they warm up?

They should be fine. Just monitor them like you normally would while in QT. Next time, maybe hold off on shipping until better weather.

Re: New additions help!
they should be fine. but watch their behavior, if it is normal, and also watch out for respiratory infection. the cold can be a trigger for a respiratory problem.
