well you dont really have to breed yourself if you don't want to. there are plenty of online stores that sell F/T and stuff for very reasonable prices so you don't have to drive anywhere or continue to get ripped by the pet store near you. I would breed but it stinks so much that i wouldn't be able to take it! my friend did it for a while and that showed me that i can't do that if i plan to live in the same house!
