Well given that woestrat breeds quite a large volume of rodents and presumably sends them out to pet shops and other breeders, it might be very wise of her to catch this problem early. It is not nice for someone (especially a child) to get a pet from a store just to have it die in the hand. And if the germ is potentially communicable to humans (E. coli is) then it becomes doubly an issue. I would with the very best of intentions highly urge you, woestrat, to get this issue taken care of right away. I know when you breed a large volume of animals it can be easy to overlook such a minor issue as a few pups dying around weaning time, but in this case it could be quite important. It would be good to at least get some animals tested.

I know Iris (Woestrat) and she has good gerbils. She is a well-known gerbil breeder in the Netherlands. Several of my duprasi came from her or are descendants of hers. But testing those gerbils that have a diarrhoea problem is indeed wise.

they did not die of ecoli. you are all so buzzy with that darn ecoli that you are totally missing the point. these animals had NO EYES, they had troubles ajusting,finding the food, hiding the food etc.
My animals do not have the bad ecoli. the are checked every 6 month and when i have a bad feeling about a litter i let the droppings be tested.
how many times do i have to tell this on the forum?
I dont think any of you let there gerbils checked 2 a year on ecoli, parasited etc.
I do not sell to petshops because i dislike them verry much!
I sell all my gerbils directly to people.
I give a guarantee on the animals
If one should die the get a new one. The dead one will be checked (unless it is killed by there fault)
the droppings of 2 pups and there mom where checked. So im verry sure!
