Thanks again Dan.
Learning still<g>. Boxies are new to me, well I have had them three years. But they have been
really shy until this year. They have had quite a lot of changes with me, so am not really surprised
its taken this long to seem happy.

Hi Jeff

I have not heard of anyone breeding them, but there must be somewhere.
I only know Darren that has them and Mary Datson.
I did see some for sale on Slowcoach, but that was a few weeks ago, and they were
adults I think.
Most tend to be in the US.

Gosh don't no where to start ;
Dan thanks for all that info most appreciated ,
Sandy Dan is your best bet like you i'm still new to boxies and he will sex yours far more better than me .
Jeff mine .
I must say at first i was a bit unsure if i had a good enough interest in them but they are remarkable and wouldn't be without them now .
Stapley water gardens in Nantwich Cheshire also breed them they had the breeding group from Chester Zoo many years ago
Darren
