wow. If I am being honest, the incredible differences between the way you have handled your BPs and the way people are recommending handling them these days is STARK at the least. My gut instinct tells me why fix what clearly isn't broken? The next thought is that (I havent gotten a BP yet, but I am in that research phase right now myself) the way you do it clearly seems to work well and is also somewhat easier than the recommendations that are being given today. If I could get such great results by maintaining an easier-to-care-for animal....I don't see why I would. Kudos on your awesome, healthy friends!
