i wanna know how they got a place that only does feeder food goes and gets it spread to there whole line of frozen prey. did they keep all the animals in the same enclosure? surely not. how did they not notice tons of animals being sickly? hmmm thats the real question to isn't it? did they notice and just not care cause honestly it's not hard to pick a sick animal out of a a group of healthy animals when you work with them daily.(i grew up on a farm with several head of cattle pigs and horses and it's not hard to tell a sick animal from a healthy animal. i understand how they got it spread they clearly had some contaminated chickens and there employees didn't wash there hands properly after handling them.( which when they first started noticing sick animals they should of shut down everything right then and there not wait for FDA to do the recall. as think about it they got names and records of everybody they sold to why not get a hold of all those people and say hey send your stuff back we just found some of our animals got salmonella send yours back. but they chose to sit back and let money roll in till they got caught. i myself will never buy from them again I'd rather let my animals starve before i use a company thats just in it for the almighty dollar and this proves it they sit there counting there money instead of out checking on the health of the animals they sell opps wait they just sell dead animals who cares right
all i got to say is watch out for the price increase now that they are recalling all that was sold for that time i bet they never cleaned what ever they used to kill the prey items like they should of
i myself think it is funny as tons of people demanded cheaper food well you got your cheaper food and a Lil extra for your wanting to save a few pennies lol (yes i can be an ass) honestly i bet all those people who ended up with tainted frozen prey are now rethinking breeding there own.
reminds me of 2 old adages if you want it done right do it yourself. and if you want it cheaper do it yourself.
i think we as a whole the herp community needs to boycott them this is just another reason the government to use to shut down the pet trade in the USA a fancy lawyer could easily blame the pet trade for the demand of dead animals which just so happen to be prone to get salmonella if not treated properly
