Well I stopped at the store where I purchased Lily to pick up some more hay. Of course this is not your typical pet store like Petco or any other chain store. This is a small family owned buisiness dealing with mainly pet supplies, food ect. I have been going there for a few years now to purchase crickets for my toads. Each and every time I found myself venturing to the animal area to play with all the critters. I had a wonderful conversation with the owner tonight. He explained that he breeds all of his own birds and rodents. By doing so he can moniter the quality and also the quantity. Each animal he has is handled daily by his staff so they are used to being around humans and being touched, held ect. He is experienced in sexing, and as heexplained he doesn't want any unexpected surprises forhim or his customers.As for the rabbits, he explained that he only uses one breeder because after inspection it was the only one that their breeding program, living enviornment & carewas to his standard. Seeing how he keeps and treats the animals in the store, I can see he has high standards. I am so happy with Lily, and am tempted to get her sister. She is the only one left out of the 4 that were there Friday. I got the bun bug.....
