I dont even want to mention how much investment or money into this hobby i have put in 1 year. Does that bother me? Not in the least. I will attempt to breed 5-6 females this year.
This is what occurred prior. 1 year of research and forum reading. Visiting BHB in person. Asking questions/learning.
Having in place housing for up 50 babies. Will I have 50? Of course not but it is possible so I need to have that in place. Food in freezer. Temp control units. Vet money fund in place just in case. Oh yeah permission from my wife.
The mindset of a hobby/or in own home breeder has to be this imo. I will have to sell animals for 5 years with no issues and everyone taken em off my hands to even come close to the initial money in. And that is the point. Money is a benefit in the end that may or may not come. If it doesnt you are left with your enjoyment/passion and love for the animals. Is that enough? If its not then the path chosen may be incorrect.
You may have all this taken care of, if so that is awesome. Just making sure that when it comes down to it the venture needs to start with enjoyment from the animals. The investment into breeding and having multiple animals is to high for it to be much more then that to start.
