Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Most rabbit, rat, and guinea pig breeders sell off their culls as snake food. Not every rodent critter produced has the temperament to be a good pet.

I believe that, but I doubt that fact is publicized by most such breeders, if any.
One nice thing among many about the reptile community is that there's relatively little candy coating of the realities of what our animals' lives are like, at least within the community. In general I think we're pretty straightforward about the 'tough choices' that have to be made (which get less tough as a keeper gets more serious about their collection).

Heck, when I lived in Baltimore, I knew a guy who used to constantly watch the classifieds in the local newspaper looking for ads stating "Rabbit, free to good home." I will say no more about that............

of the millions of rabbits, mice, rats and other rodents raised every year only a tiny percent end up as pets. What did the humane society expect was going to happen.
