[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 121748, member: 1697"] Back in late 70s I used to raise hamsters mice and gerbils for pet stores. Never had difficulties- they were so hardy then. Goodness sakes how quickly 2 would become 20 and so on, LOL. My easy child went awhile back and got herself a mouse.....from a huge chain petstore. She dropped a bundle of $$. The store helped her get everything they said she needed for this little furry bundle of joy. THe next morning, it lay in the cage, non breathing. Back to petstore she went- to get a refund, and or a new pet.....and to complain. What a mess! The store first said she was not old enough to have bought it -she was only 17, not 18. Then they said she killed it! How? THey said the bedding material she used was toxic to mice? She said hey wait- YOU bundled up the things you said I needed, YOU Gave me that bedding! Becuz she had a pet die they refused to permit her to get another from their store, saying she was negligent. HUH? She came home in tears- husband went to the store and gave them "what for" He also came home with full refund for EVERYTHING she purchased there. When I raised small critters, I did not use bedding material, I used glass aquariums with screened tops. I cannot ever remember- but one type- either pine or cedar? I think one of those is toxic to small critters? ALso fresh fruit and vegs in toolarge amounts can also give diareeah? And yes, the critters can also have respiratory problems from the pet store or the breeder- or other illness. I am so sad for your child. THat had to be so difficult! HUGS! [/QUOTE]
