This is great I have a order of rodents coming from rodent pro tomorrow . What should I do?

[Anatopism]

The disease itself doesn't actually sound that serious. I found this on the CDC's website. Still, I'd prefer to be informed.

Arthritis and mental retardation of an unborn child sounds like a walk in the park to me

Certainly doesn't seem like something that causes serious issues for most people, but pregnant women and those who with a suppressed immune system, could have some considerably more serious problems.

Would like to hear back something definite on Rodent Pro sometime soon.

[Simple Man]

Honestly, not surprised. I've heard horror story after horror story about RodentPro for the past few years.

One of the symptoms is testicular pain....I'd say thats pretty serious.

Well sounds like RodentPro was in a lose-lose situation. If they notified people they'd lose business... and apparently not notifying people is going to cause them to lose business.

Wonder if this is why they were "out of stock" for so long... trying to protect their customer base but not tell what exactly was going on? Sucks to say but in their situation I probably would have culled all stock, told everyone I was sold out, and tried to keep my reputation intact... I can't really fault them.

I just got a bunch of frozen for my monitor at the show a couple weeks ago... I sure hope we find out more.

Well, it's not quite as serious as death, which in extreme cases (much like the aforementioned testicular pair) can happen with Salmonella. And Salmonella, as we all know, can be carried by any reptile. In fact wasn't there another rodent supplier that was in trouble last year because one of their customers actually came down with salmonella poisoning after using their product?

So I just checked my shipment is Suppost to get here tomorrow. Should I try to return the rats, or you guys think it's ok to feed them anyway?

Wow, good thing I did not put my order this week. Are there any other companies that you would suggest?
