If he were small and still growing, or thin, or too overfat, those would have been issues to me, to not breed him.
My husband saw him and looked him over well over 60 days ago at their place, and he was healthy then.. honestly, not to be sarcastic, but what reason in this situation would there have been to wait longer? Are there specific diseases that take 60-90 days to surface in a new home? I would like to know.. I am really not trying to be a snot here, and I am just doing what I feel is safe and right.
Come on, it is not like I went to some stranger's place and grabbed a WC that was loaded with internals, and ticks, and tossed it in with my 100g male.
The issue is that as a breeder you are not taking the proper precautions with your collection and therefore are ruining your reputation as a high quality breeder before it ever starts. But in the end what you do with your collection is your choice...just understand when a buyer starts researching you about a potential purchase this will come up.
