Hi Adam,

I am a big fan of making lists of pros and cons when I want to really think things through and make a good decision. First brainstorm pros and cons without taking time to evaluate the factors. Then WEIGHT the factors in both lists, since some factors are certainly going to be more important than others. And to help you focus and weight the factors accurately, ask yourself what thing(s) is(are) prompting you to downsize your collection in the first place.

That being said, I would prioritize what I'd keep based on how special (your favorites, the hardest to replace, etc.) the animals are.

Good luck with your decisions!

Tom
