uh... I didn't realize we were still arguing. I understand what happy hill was saying about how it is hard to interpret how a post was meant to be taken because of lack of vocals/hand gestures/body language, etc.
I wasn't trying to imply that you were attacking me... sorry if it came off that way.
I was trying to clear something up that seemed to me had possibly been confuzzled :P

In any case, I was not accusing you of anything, okee dokee?

I'm not letting myself get upset by these postings anymore, because there are a thousand different ways that people do things with their animals, and for every article that I am told to look at, there's another article saying the exact opposite. It's just a waste of time, we're just going around in circles.
Every species has different needs, and what works for one might not work best for another. Maybe the subject of germs isn't important either way... I mean, I use bleach or soap and water once a week, change bedding/disinfect cages every time the animal poos, and quarentine my new animals for two months and I've never had ANY problems. Happy Hillbilly quarentines for 1 1/2 weeks and doesn't disinfect his cages/bowls every week and doesn't have any problems. I don't know your quarentining time period, but you said you don't disinfect every cleaning and don't have problems. So, if it doesn't matter either way to the animals, let's each just keep doing what we were doing that worked for us, and let the matter go... okay?
