I think that's why I was never sucessful at showing and breeding, you HAVE to toughen up, poo happens and you have to accept that comes with the territory.

I just found it increasingly hard to swallow so I gave up.

I'm very sad today as the last of my "breeder" hutches were collected yesterday and I've come home from work and run up the garden and no one's squeaked to greet me

It's also the end of a fairly long chapter in my life - wierd really

BUT the hammies will all be up soon so I'll play with them instead - plus I still have a lot of piggies to play with, they're just not in my shed any more they're running riot in their retirement village
