I think the "trashing" that a lot of them do seems to turn people off, when really it's just that they're burrowers without bodies meant for solid ground or human hands.

But I hear most people talk about them favorably.
Glad most people talk about them favorably. Maybe it was one or two biased people that gave me that impression. Ours is a total sweetheart. Each time I hold Morty (our KSB), he amazes me more, like our BP does. Last night, Morty was really enjoying having his head stroked. He was even lifting his head into the stroke on occasion. He is so cute!
