Arctic Mice Health Warning

[Joba]

This may belong elsewhere, so mods feel free to move it, but I saw this today and thought that many folks here might like to know before feeding their tegu "Arctic Mice," that they're recalling some of their products due to salmonella.

Hopefully all your critters are safe from this illness.

Petsmarts have done a nationwide recall as they use this company. The recall actually happened a bit ago i think. So if the issue is not resolved yet, it soon will be. Petco still has frozen mice because they deal with another company.

Yikes. Scary. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention!

Evidently the problem is so bad, that its not so much the animals that are in danger in as much as the humans. Just the handling of the food has gotten people sick. I think a few died? Not sure.
