....normally, I wouldn't bother but you have managed to upset my
daughter.
We know our pet shop, my daughter has some 11 much loved pets[cat,
dog, bird, g.pig, turtle and her rats] and the waiting list for her
rats ensures the owner receives a premium while he notifies her of
each new owner.
Every one of those pets is handled daily and much loved.
She has bred three litters from three different does.
We live in the country and are surrounded by effective and safe
animal management, the breeding program was my daughter's entry to
that world.
I will seek further advice on the four weeks [they spend the last
week on dry food and are handled by Jamie and her school friends] it
was a recommendation made to us by breeders at the university where I
work. My daughter would delighted to keep them longer.
The missing fur has our vet stumped [she has tea at our place once a
week]- I joined here for information - it seems to be in short
supply -we will not be pursuing our membership.
