Oh No!!! I am so sorry about the loss of your three little ones. We are mourning little Diego over here as well.. I am so sorry - I hope a necropsy will shed some light on all of this. I too, would suspect the pellets and crickets for causing this.. Amanda

Rereading your first post, I would say to focus on the brain. I am no expert, but your description, with the actions and the sudden blindness leads me to believe it is in the brain. Praying your little girl will be ok. This is very scary.

Aflatoxins comes to mind...contact Laura_Leigh or Ellen by pm... they might be able to offer some advice. Both the pellets or the crickets could be the source.
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. I can't imagine the pain.

My goodness gracious, you must be heartbroken! I am so sorry . Something somehow somewhere is toxic. As advised, I would also stop the crickets and pellet food immediately until you know the source. Karin

Equate is a store brand of Insure. My guess is that their diet was contaminated. I would stop feeding the Equate, dry pellets and insects. Wash everything down such as cage, water bottle, and toys with Hot Soapy Water with a bleach solution of 1/2 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of hot water. Follow with a through rinse. pouches and fabric toys... machine wash in hot water and dry in the dryer. Throw out stored bedding. Use paper towels for now. Tape to tray to keep them from being pulled through the grate. Request a direct fecal float and stain on the remaining glider ASAP so you can at least rule out a possible parasite.

I must agree with Dancing....Aflatoxins. Please get Denise to the vet, even an emergency vet to have her checked. Also, take the pellets and crickets and have them checked for Aflatoxins.

Stef - I'm so sorry to hear about your dear three.
I am holding a good thought for darling Denise, and for you. I can't even imagine the horror of what you are going through.

I am so sorry for your loss's!! I agree with Judie, crub the cage down well, disinfect, and get new food, serve nothing of the old! Other then crickets are there any other treats? I think it sounds like Afaltoxins as well. Many hugs and prayers for your right now! Questin If it is Aflatoxins, is there anything they can do for Denise now?

My prayers be with you and Denise. Please get that baby to a vet asap... I understand if you're strapped on cash, after all of those babies dying... but you might wanna have an exam done on her. Until then, feed fresh *washed* fruits and veggies (frozen is fine) and perhaps eggs, yogurt, etc. Stop feeding the pellets, equate, and all insects. It *does* sound neurological, and things like that are usually from a toxin rather than contracted from a cagemate. Is your cage a traditional cage, or is it perhaps made from some other material? Are you using any cleaners in the room?

I think the equate was frozen mixed veggies. Equate is walmart's brandname that is on all of their products whether it's medicine or frozen vegetables or nutrition drinks.

If you take Deigo in for a necropsy, please ask them to check the liver for aflatoxosis. If it is, you will need to modify Denise's diet, you won't know if she was affected by it or not until its too late. If she starts to show symptoms, keep her warm and syringe feed a 50/50 combo of Pedialyte and baby Yogurt juice. Keep a very close eye on her... this is screaming aflatoxins to me. if this turns out to be aflatoxins, PM me and I'll give you my number. I've got a TON of info and tips/tricks.... oh, and sack the pellets and crickets... those are two of the top main sources for aflatoxins in gliders. IF your vet treats large farm animals, they may have an aflatoxin quick test that they can test the pellets with, but I'm not sure how they would test the crickets, since it is part of the DNA.... But its worth a shot.
