Why not to keep exotic pets

[crazymule]

"exotics" get sick, and no one can tell you what is wrong. Two dead in two weeks, the others losing weight but not showing any of the 'normal' signs associated with decline in rats. Went to the exotics vet, they gave me drugs for them, but that is it.

I'm sick of losing my babies. I want to know what is wrong with them. I want them to get better now, damn it.

I have to be at work in under an hour but I dont want to leave them, I just want to stay to keep an eye on them. It's not fair.
