: I called a breeder in the area who is going to have babies ready in April. I really like this breeder because she seemed very responsible. The first breeder that I used (to get Flea) did not ask me any questions concerning my knowlege of gliders and sent her son to my house to drop off the glider and collect the fee. I did not even get to choose my glider, just got what was given to me. I was left with a piece of paper that had some instructions (kind of like when you buy a gold fish). The breeder that I contacted today is great. She told me that she could not give me an exact date because she looks at each baby as an individual and feels that some are ready to go quicker than others. She said that when the time gets closer we can sit down and talk about glider care, diet, bonding, appropriate temps., etc. I feel that she is a caring breeder that really wants to make sure that her babies go to responsible homes. I did not tell her about Flea. I did not lie to her but I did not offer that information. I guess I am afraid that she will think I am a bad parent and not let me adopt. Is this wrong of me?
: Wendi Everyone will have there own point of veiw but I beleive a death is privet and unless it was done on perpos it really is'nt anyone's buisness but yours and it is your choice to tell or not tell the breeder.You cant keep blaming yourself for an acident because acidents even happen to children it is absulutly horable but it happens alot thats wy they are called acidents.I am so sorry you lost Flea but that does not make you a bad parent.Good luck (forgive yourself you know Flea doesnt blame you so wy should you)now you know when to have them out of there cage and when not to.No part of this was ment in any kind of bad way
