Ban them and when CB babies reach $150.00 each people will figure out to breed them pretty quickly. If I could find a nice young adult female I would consider giving it a try but I'd need a bit more room. I raise my own mice and rats and roaches so feeding would not really be an issue.
That's not why its the other way around. Savs have never been bred, at least I have never read anything on it. Many people have been trying, especially since that albino one was imported. They are just difficult to breed. I think it has to do with space.
