Aw, thank youOriginally Posted by PitOnTheProwl
That is because I'm a bit of a "over thinker". At night, when I can't sleep, I go through different scenarios in my head. All the implications of any situations, planning it out, thinking of all the different factors.
Plus I've been there before when starting projects (not animal breeding). Thinking "I can do that". Even going so far as to think "I can do this better". Only to figure out that there are things I haven't factored in and it doesn't quite work out like I've thought. And its a humbling experience. When animals or any living being is involved, it becomes even more critical to think through every little teeny tiny aspect. Rarely is there a "good profit" to be made with animal breeding. Its a fickle business and a lot can go wrong. Many come and go.
The ones that stick it out and make it a success (that incl. quality healthy animals and great business ethics) have my greatest respect.
Maintenance feeding I have no problem with, if everything else checks out and has checked out for many years.
But again, i do understand that Chris was taken aback. 166 gr. is on the small side, even if it was a late 16 hatchling and slow to start. But hopefully it will take off and turn into another prize animal in his collection
