Have any of ya'll been to pet stores that have their small mammals under quarantine because of the monkey pox? As you may know I work at a small LFS / pet store in Edwardsville, IL and today we were inspected. Everything was ok with the inspection itself (although I hadn't gotten to feed / water the small mammals for the day yet :rolleyes:) but since we had gotten in prarie dogs before all of our small mammals are under quarantine. Nothing appeared to be wrong with them and it has been a long time since we sold the prarie dogs but they just wanted to take precautions. I know there are at least three other pet stores in the area that have had their mammals put under quarantine because of this. Do you know of any other places in this situation?
