Hi Mark,

Thank you for the reply. It was very informative and helpful.

There are a couple things I forgot to ask, though: insofar as mites are concerned, if my future companion ever gets blighted with them, is there commercial medicine readily available, or will I have to go to the vet to obtain a treatment? Also, I will try to get a male, since they tend to be smaller than females...but in the event that I get a female, do I have to worry about "egg binding" (like with birds)?

If you think of any other general tips, I'd be happy to hear them.

Thanks so much!
Sarah
