    Cold and Flu
    I have heard many times that a BP can develope a cold if the Temps should drop too low.

    I was wondering if it is possible to spread a Cold or Flu virus from humans to the BP? Both of my kids are sick and they are not so great at covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze.

    No, they won't catch a cold or the flu from humans. No worries there. :)

    Nope, they can not contact our human or flu virus.

    Just a clarification, they can come in contact with it, but the virus cannot infect them. I think "they cannot CONTRACT the virus" is what lilyorchid is saying, and she is correct.
