Re: Introducing a new piggy

Say no more, lets just put it this way, that's a USA site, if its the 
same one I saw, where they still dont have laws against live feeding. I 
own s****s and dont believe in live feeding. I come from the UK. I also 
think that's been posted for entertainment value, sick entertainment 
value. I also know that as I have already mentioned, GP hair is too 
course for s****s digestion, plus nutritionally its just not good for 
them. So I stand buy what I said, most herpers would not feed GP's to 
their s****s.
