Well, I don't breed Balls but I plan to when I can afford a second. If you're referring to the acquisition of the animal, it was from a Petsmart. Yes I know it was not the best choice, but I don't have as much money as I should. :/ I asked if she was captive bred, they said yes. Apparently from a local breeder, she's been treated with medications for parasites just in case, the store does it for all of theirs. I just feel bad for her.
