If you have a contract which I recommend (also I never use one with the loans I have made) everything need to be in writing from who gets what, to who is responsible in the event the animal must go to a vet or even dies. (The more details the better)....how long of a at period, what happen if the female does not go that season, should the breeding stop and the animal be returned or should the animal stay another season.

It is also important to communicate during the loan, does not mean people should get an update each week, but updates on how the animals are doing whether or not they are eating, when they are building, ovy etc


I changed this part around a bit. I hope it is clear enough and detailed.



If Kenai were to become ill or injured, James will immediately take him to a local exotics vet, and immediately contact me.

I will reimburse any and all vet costs as long as James is not the one held liable. If Kenai were to become ill or injured because of lack of care or neglect then James will be held liable and will be responsible for vet costs. This includes burns from an uncontrolled heat source.

James guarantees that his female is 100% healthy. If that turns out not to be true and Kenai contracts a disease or illness from the female then James will be held liable. This includes illnesses such as IBD and other contagions. This does not include things such as tumors or abscesses as they are not contagions.

If the amount of a vet visit were to total over $200 then I must receive another call before moving forward.



Also added this paragraph

Kenai and the female will both be quarantined separately for at least 60 days. After that they may begin breeding but are to be kept separate from the rest of James’s collection. Kenai will not be bred to any other females except the one discussed in this contract.
