Thanks for all of the replies!
A more aggressive approach is what I figured, and I do see this more in other animal husbandry communities as well these days (dogs, horses, cats, etc). A good example is that cats should only eat high quality wet food, which can totally break the bank for the average owner, but some people treat this as a non negotiable online. Obviously this would be a best case scenario though.
Just caught me off guard to see care sheets that were totally different than what I've experienced, and to see people being very unwelcoming to newbies in the comments because they followed one of the 98% of other care sheets. Nothing wrong with educating though, just wish they were a bit less harsh because different approaches can definitely be confusing for non professionals![]()
