Many pet shops will have their customers believe that captive bred is a permanent,

It is ok to do this, just keep them separately and practice good husbandry eliminating
cross-contamination. If you can keep them in another room until they are "clean" that
is a plus.

I'm liking this guy less and less as you go on here. These appointments for fecal
follow-ups should have already been made and the treatment price disclosed beforehand.

in that road for our customers. Boo, hiss to them!
