Whoa, Skiploder! Scarin' me with the Latin name callin', lmao! Had to Google both of those, as I didn't have the foggiest, lol!
I think it's up to each and every individual and what they feel and find is best for their particular animals. I'd hesitate to call most anything a cardinal rule, as opposed to a strongly informed opinion, as what works for one person a thousand plus times might not work at all for another. I realize there are facts and then there are experiences and the two aren't necessarily one and the same. I understand your point but I can see the other side of things as well. Two sides to every discussion, I guess...just sayin'...
