Well said.

Circumstances beyond peoples control will unfortunately lead to them having to let some giuys/gals go.

This is a very sad decision for many keepers to have to make and one that is often done with a heavy heart.

I'm the same as FatRats, Luckily i've bought tonnes of food, litter, frozen rodents etc so even if i'm low on cash over the next few months, which i will be, the animals will all be fat. Save as much as i can and don't dip into it even to pay a bill i can't afford so i don't have to sell anything as some others have had to do. Really feel sorry for the guys that have had to. Must be so hard. Good luck every1!

I'm a full time student doing a mental health nursing degree and still manage to work over 25 hours a week. It's the only way I can keep the life style myself and my animals are accustomed to. Yes things are tight, no I don't have any savings but the way I look at it is money is there to be spent. I don't see the point in saving for the future as with the way things are going it's not going to be a very bright future. And then again I could always get hit by a bus tomorrow, so why stress about savings.

I smoke and I drink, but I work to do these things. Every animal I own has been paid for by cash that I worked my butt off to earn. I have NEVER bought an animal on credit, and never intend to. If I cannot afford something, then I won't buy it. Simple as that.
