So a War of Wills, so to speak?
I have an animal that will not eat rats. Period. I held out on her for more than a year.
After that, I couldn't see myself being so cruel to an animal that should be able to feed. So, I gave in.
Does this make me a sucker? No.
Should I have held out longer? I don't think so.
Its not as cut and dry as you make it seem.
