Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charmyknux" data-source="post: 18476" data-attributes="member: 1082">I agree that trying an avic or something with middle ground care requirements would be good for a beginner. It would make them pay more attention to the animal's needs, rather than a rosehair which coild easily be left alone for some time and be just fine.It is so easy to see a cheap rosehair and just buy it without much thought. And that is for me as a hobbyist. So beginners probably shouldn't go that route as the animal could easily sit forgotten somewhere after its initial wow factor wears off. Or the owner then decides that it is too boring to keep. As long as people don't go crazy and get something that is way to aggressive for them to handle, then I agree tgat your theory could be a good idea.</blockquote>
