Rodentpro

I never went through the set up of doing the live anole feeders, it was a great idea, but I couldnt get the space to pull it all together.

First post.

If it were me I would take it as a bad guy thread. I also would be highly upset if it turned out not to be the source.

Like I said I should have worded that better and I did apologize, If u like and would let me Id go back and edit it. Id change it something like, "Based on what information I have it seems Rodentpros feeders have... etc."

You have no information. You have a situation, and a theory.

All people are saying here is that perhaps you should not have called a company's name here before being sure. If it turns out that your statement was not true, they could look to you for any losses in sales stemming from your announcement.

So that pretty much knocks out my live provider as a suspect. I said right in my first post that im waiting for tests and that people should be careful until I have results.

Better safe than sorry.

I'm "acting like this ios a bad guy thread" because you, regardless of what cute little icon you used, and without a shred of proof, have accused RodentPro of contaminating your collection with some unknown parasite. That is pretty much the definition of a bad guy thread.

Just for the record they arent unknown, they are pinworms.

Had you picked up the phone and called this company, a company of their size and reputation would have, I think, immediately tested their critters and gotten back to you.

They don't have to wait for vet appointments, for important matters I'm sure they can have a vet come to them.

I'm not saying there is or there is not a connection, let me be very clear on that.
I AM saying that prior to making your initial statement saying this company was responsible, more should have been done.

Did you even try to call them?

And again I ask....

No, You actually should have had much more info before you went off and started this thread. You have done some damage here, and really have no idea yet where they came from. I know we are not supposed to jump on an OP, but you should hang your head here! This is wrong!
