That's just what it was for me - that sort of "even with the best of care, most will die within six months" attitude that seems to be the prevalent thought. Jane's setup seems pretty ideal for a burrowing animal that's common 'round rice paddies, and I'm looking forward to hearing how they do. They really are pretty incredible!

Interesting note - some of the ones at White Plains were in shed - they go a totally drab ashy-white color in shed!
