Been doing this 12 years and I am doing very well thank you but I have seen plenty losing money and being disappointed and loosing their passion, WE want to prevent you from making a mistake and you in turn act like a teenager know it all.
You want to breed a pastel and be stuck with babies that will cost you on average $100 a year per animal knowing you will have about 6 to 12 of them and they retail for $25/$50, go for it and don't say you were not warned.
Or you could act like an adult listen to people that know the market, know what it takes foresee a big mistake ahead from someone that does not know a pastel from a normal to start with and yet is already jumping on the breeding bandwagon (I won't even ask how long you have been keeping BP)
For the past 12 years I have been seeing people like you every year and all of those that don't give a thought about the big picture end up being in the red (that's what happen when you don't make a profit or even break even) sell everything within 3 to 5 years some do worse than that also.
You got to learn to walk before you can run.
Breeding a pastel nowadays is no better than breeding a normal no one really wants them they have become the disposable animal.
So yeah keep asking for advice and dismiss them and act like you know it all......it won't be the first it won't be the last which is sad when people are actually willing to help you.....oh well.
