I am new to this so bare with me please. I know rding has already talked about this but i had a few questions. how big does a bci get? Are they pretty much the same as handling a ball? We stoped by a local pet store yesterday and it was love at first sight. He is not being housed very well there and i would love to give him/her a good home. Thinking about going to get him/her today. Is this a good idea? Help please.
