I'm thinking not as well, if the results come in inconclusive, I'm just going to have to assume it was the heat, without any other signs it's the only logical explanation. If that's the case, any future baby BRBs I get will be kept in a room without the space heater, at least until they're older, but I may just start keeping my BRBs separate from the others so they can have a cooler room.

They still didn't have my results Friday, but I called rather early while they were on lunch break. They said they should have gotten them in today, so hopefully if I get a break at work before 4:30 tomorrow I can call them, otherwise I'll have to wait until Wednesday. The tests are done in Raleigh, so I won't get the results until the Raleigh lab sends them in, which is why I haven't gotten them yet.
