Now we totally agree. My passion has always been for the animals. At times breeding and selling can confuse us and we may temporarily forget whats important.

Now that you have empty cages, you can come up with some very good experiments(tests).

The last thing i would like to say is, Science is to ask questions, not to make answers. The answers will come, and come again and come again. Science is always correcting itself. So, its not the conclusions that are important, its that we keep asking the questions.

If we SEE something that animals do naturally and its against what we read(science says) they do. Our task is to figure out the animals, not tell them they are wrong and the book is right.

Another statement you made is very good. This stuff makes the animals much more interesting, thats what you said. The reality is, science WANTS to pigeonhole animals. That is, seperate everything into little boxes, so they can teach it. The truth is, behavior cannot be pigeonholed so easily.

My partner and I wonder why science gives these animals so little credit. They want to make them simple and easy, but its not all that simple to live like they do. Cheers
