thank you zoo nancy ill have to take a look at that

Ths is the response you gave previously and that is why you got the responsess you did. This sounds like "if i can be bothered i will do it but if i cant then so waht"

Your secnd post explaining your setup and the space you have available and your decision not to take animals you cant care for properly makes you sound much more credible as a person and a rescue.

I hope it all goes well for you and the aimals you take in

honestly it doesnt sound like anything...its typing and i hate typing just as much as txting you cant actually feel out the way someone is saying something you can just assume as all of you did that because i did not feel at that point in time like going into a big explanation of the way i do things that i must not care or that im doing it wrong when the reality of it is you didnt know...anyone could have just said hey could you elaborate? and i would have log'd back in later when i was done doing my rounds and done just that lol instead i log in this morning before my first coffee grr to people jumping on me about things they dont know

but ya im not a morning person so sorry if this comes off grumpy i usually just wake up long enough to get everyone there breakfast and UV lights then crash out for another couple hours i have not done that yet today and my coffee pot does not brew fast enough!!!!

Thats the problem with writing on the forum, we all need to elaborate as there is no body language to put our words into context

At least it is sorted in a civil manner without resorting to silly arguments

miya · 11-12-12, 10:02 AM

lol i hate arguing on a forum i like to see the person if im gonna fight with em lol

StudentoReptile · 11-12-12, 10:47 AM

No one is arguing, Miya.

If you had given all the information you did this morning in the very first post of this thread, you probably would not have received much of the unsolicited advice full of information that you already were aware of. We cannot read your mind. We can only take each post at face value, and your OP raised some questions. That is all.

You're not dumb and have thought some of this through. Great.

All that said....welcome to the internet. Anywhere you post, whether it is here, Facebook, another forum, people will ALWAYS give you advice, regardless if you specifically asked for it. Here is some more: get used to it and deal with it. Occasionally, as much as you think you know, someone may actually bring up a point you did not consider. That is how we learn things, and presumably why most individuals join forums like this in the first place.

Hope you enjoyed your coffee and have a Happy Monday!

Miya I'm sorry if I offended you with my suggestions. I hadn't meant to and was only trying to pass on information that I thought may be useful to you

EmbraceCalamity · 11-12-12, 10:57 AM

Wait, do you breed bearded dragons? I've never heard of a "rescue" breeding, since that's the reason rescues have to exist in the first place. =/

StudentoReptile · 11-12-12, 11:00 AM

It is possible, Maggot. As long as the person(s) can adequately keep the rescued animals and their breeding projects separate.

A lot depends on exactly what they rescue. They may only take in injured, or special needs animals, and adopt them out as "pets." And keep their breeding operation entirely separate.

i was a breeder first, not gonna stop one cus im doing the other lol...i do not breed rescues
rescues do not exist because of breeders rescues exist because people cant take the time to research something before they get it 2 of my 3 current rescues came from a pet store not a private breeder

There are excess animals that need rescue because people breed them. That was my point. It's just an unusual combination because most people who rescue animals realise that there isn't a need for more of them (especially something so common as beardies), which is why I was confused and asked. That's all.

nobody offended me just dont like waking up first thing in the morning to find people telling me stuff i alrdy know. i am a research junkie. and if i have a question about what im doing i have no problem asking for advice

miya · 11-12-12, 11:14 AM

i breed because i enjoy it, not for money. i have never heard of a breeder giving away there animals because they dont want them...excess animals come from owners who do not want them anymore. its not the breeders fault someone decided they didnt want there pet anymore its the owners fault ( and yes i felt the same way even before i started breeding)

I see you're missing my point. Breeding is the reason there are animals needing rescued, unless you're saying people have figured out how to make them spontaneously generate. Obviously it's up to you what you do. I'm just personally pretty anti-breeding because I've taken in so many animals.

Like Student said, there was no way for anyone to know what you did and didn't know.

LOLOL

I was going to be nice to you but then you posted this.

Do you think animals just APPEAR in pet stores? How do you think they get there? I know TONS of breeders who wholesale their low end stuff to you guessed it, PET STORES.

You won't get accredited as a proper rescue while pursuing the same animals in a commercial venture.

Also, a rescue can't pick and choose what they take in and don't. You should be able to house (proper housing) for anything given to you until you call one of your many contacts who can foster care for it in a better situation.

Aside from that, a "rescue" usually drains one's energy and passion for their own hobby and I know of other people who have stopped taking in 'rescues' or keeping animals they actually want because it's all gone.

I never claimed you were dumb, but I just don't think you have really thought this through.

I'm sure you'll come back now and say you did and you just wish I would say "please elaborate" but really, if you weren't out to prove that everyone jumps on someone you would have done so in the first post. Why leave vital information out on purpose?

Also, not being a morning person or not having a coffee is no excuse for the way you put things.

I have yet to see a homemade "rescue" really be anything but someone looking for free pets. 99% of the time, the care given in the "rescue" is barely marginally better than where they came from.
