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, Kate

Great post, maybe one that should be made sticky

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.

Pete

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?
