No that is keeping them. Breeding is far more than that. Its being able to tell when and if there is medically something wrong that might endanger the animals involved. Its being able to not only provided for the breeders but the baby's which 99.995% of all new keepers have a hard time with to start with. There is far more than most people understand. Or even I understood when I got started I spent 2 years researching with some of the top breeders and still feel unprepared.Ok, I understand breeding is a task, but c'mon.. it's really just a lot of work. I'm pretty sure a lot of the high level breeders aren't rocket scientist. I'm not saying you don't have to be smart, but really it's understanding what the animal needs and providing it to them.
