Tracy ~ You're so right! We do what we feel is OK when we see animals suffering. Sometimes the laws are against us. Our intent is to end the animal's suffering quickly.
Ya know, when we get a shot the needle hurts just briefly. Do you think the pain of the injection might be more for a gecko? On a far lighter note, what does it take to breed mealworms? I have heard you need a medium such as oat bran and the correct temps and the mealworms will just breed. Have you ever bred any? Perhaps we could separate these threads?
