I managed to grab each of them for a thorough physical inspection (with only minor hand injury) and discovered that one of them has an ulcer in the corner of her mouth and another has a rather nasty looking tail (grayish and necrotic looking, but it seems to be neuro-muscularly intact).

These wounds will need regular care to prevent progression, but I would like to traumatize the animals as little as possible. Any advice?
