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
