Are you sure it's no only cold days that are the way of this signs?

I keep personnaly Hermanns (2.5.42) and the only animals that shows those signs were animals that were "colded" (excuse for my english!). I take them inside and put them in an aquarium that is filled with compost (about 5 cm height). The only source of heat is a spot of 60W that is put about 20-30 upper, in a corner. They have a bark for bathing and then, they are bathed 2 times per weeks in a water at about 25-30°C and about half-hour.

After only few days, the symptoms disappear and they are OK to join their brothers and sisters...

PS : don't give them everytime Baytril, because resistance develops easy when animals are always treatened the same anibiotic!
