Excellent post Sue! If this post makes someone rethink getting a bosc on impulse then its definatly served its purpose, and with any luck it will make a lot of people think twice. We considered getting a baby bosc at christmas after seeing some babies, for about 10 seconds - much as we both love them we knew we would not have the room or time for one right now, we'll stick with the little ones for a while longer!

I havn't been using forums long and even I have seen people come and go with their baby boscs. You see so many on classifieds for rehoming and I find it really sad. I find it even sadder that because so many are being rehomed and are unwanted, so many WC babies are being put through the trauma of being caught/transported, which may ultimatly cost them their lives, for no reason whatsoever.

Brilliant post

Thanks, Ronster

No probs, as stated if it makes just one person decide that a Bosc is gonna be too much then it's worth it.

EDIT - By the looks of it this post needed to be done a while ago too. Looking at the Classifieds and around 7 Boscs for sale

It's a darn good bit of work there.

Hopefully it'll come in use to many people either with or thinking of getting a Bosc.

I'll certainly refer to it.

Maybe this could go in the n00b section too, I've seen a thread or 2 about boscs in there too and it may be seen by a few more prospective owners. Should defo be a sticky me thinks

Thanks again guys. It took me quite a while to write, re-write, proof-read etc so I'm glad it has been well received, every time I see a poor little bosc in an ill-equipped viv it makes me sad. How does it become a sticky?
