I just got a pink toe fron the store and its a sling. The guy was pretty rough getting it out and i got it home and it walked on my arm for a little and pooped on me lol but now its got its legs slightly curled and doesnt seem to wanna move much. Im very worried cause i dont wanna lose him. Could it be stress from being moved around? Or could it be from the guy being rough? Someone please help

Sounds like death curl sadly that's how mine died but there is such thing as SADS ( Sudden Avic Death Syndrome)

Well i got him in an ICU and woke up at 7 this morning and touched his butt and he walked forward just a little and his legs werent moving weird anymore or curling in, so i think it has a chance now just gonna take some time before its fully healthy. And if he dies within seven days the store refunds your money, and if he does pass im gonna make sure to go off on the store for not treating their animals right, i cant tell you how many dead rose hairs ive seen up there dead or have no water justthat cricket quencher or a sponge!

yeah im just keeping it in the ICU till it looks ready. It still doesnt have strength to eat but it shouldn't be to much longer. They tried to tell me that avics are super aggressive LOL I don't know if you've watched firefly but i plan on naming this T Mal, if he/she survives

he went back curling his legs so i had to get on his back and drip water into his mouth. Calling the pet store tomorrow and going off on them for how poorly they treat their animals
