story to hear about your ducks i got my eye on your hermans

bernards mom · 04-04-2008, 03:13 PM

do you think it would be hard to find homes for them? i know quite a few come up for rehoming but then on the other hand people are quite often looking to buy them but no-one seems to breed them over here.

Certain people in the tortoise world say you are a bad keeper if you let them breed that why you never here of anyone breeding them. Which it think is a load of rubbish.
There are hundreds of tortoise breeders in the uK most dont dare to come onto a forum because of the nastyness.
There are leopard breeders out there

i can understand that! i hadnt heard about leopard breeders but i realise that didnt necessary mean there were none. i still think they are my favourite and would like a couple more at some point.

i agree with you totally Sarah these same people say buy cb meds from them and then if nobody buys wc from petshops this will combat the trade by a reduction in customers, if the ones in the petshops arent sold then they wont be replaced from the wild.what a brilliant idea so why doesnt it apply to leopards.?

Its a pain isnt it.
There is such a stigma with owning leopards, people think they get so large and people wont cope with them. Rubbish

My opinion changed when i owned one. They have a great personality and are stunning. But do need alot of room, but if you have the room why not!!!

Thank you, its still heartbreaking going outside and not hearing them quacking at me

Its safe to say i hate foxes but i know its in their nature but i still hate them.
