Err umm that didn't work..this is the post..
While we were gone, not only did they barely eat, apparently they wouldn't even groom themselves.. They were all greasy and stuff too when we got back. They just curled up into little balls of depression, even when the kids were here with the in-laws to feed them

WTF am I supposed to do with these big saps if I have to go away for long? Sheesh.
