Yeah i do understand and its not just hedgies and suggys there are plenty of other animals being treated the same way too

but people ranting at someone about breeding ethics will only get their back up hence what happened

it would have been easier to have a polite convo via pm than ruin his thread with an argument

I didnt rant -I said to him please think -that wasnt an argument

I've had my hog for 3 weeks now and the forum has been invaluable. Even after reading masses of stuff i still have questions! Even simple things like when my hog should have his wheel?

I would be lost without it!

i didnt say you did but a few people have

isnt it better to guide and give advice than push away? Which is probably how the OP feels right now

[animal addict]

^^^ yes hence my plea -just please think thats all I'm saying :-( just get to know the hedgie first off etc

In all fairness Emmaj, if you take a little looksie at the OP's previous threads, he has made it perfectly clear he intends to breed. We are not trying to ruin his thread, or take away from the excitement of a lovely new pet, but to make sure he knows what he is getting into. I assume you would feel exactly the same way if I asked you to sell me skunks, a breeding pair please. I know all about them and cant wait for my first babies to sell on eh!
Tomcat, as I have already said.. enjoy your new bundle.. I am looking forward to seeing your pictures once she has settled.

the thing with typing anything out........you cant truely read what the person in meaning and this is where things go wrong

what reads ok to you may read completely different to someone else

its so hard to judge how to take something when its written

i dont think you meant anything bad and your intentions were good as i think the same with most that have posted on here

but to an outsider it can look slightly in your face and pushy

i hope that made sense
