I hope I am putting this in the right place, if not please move it to the right category.
I was just wondering if anyone else finds it creepy when someone wants to buy a kit sight unseen? I have had several people recently email me saying they wanted to buy a kit without having visited or even seeing a picture of them. It just makes me feel uneasy. I usually have at least one in person visit and multiple emails with prospective buyers. Someone who doesn't ask any questions about me, my credentials or breeding practices or the background of the animals makes me very worried that they don't have a clue what they are doing and aren't all that serious about it.
Most recently, I had a guy email saying he wanted two particular kits (brother and sister) and was planning on keeping them in the same cage together. When I pointed out they shoud be separated to avoid inbreeding, he replied "Well, I will have a long time before they reach sexual maturity, so I'm not worried about it." Yikes! :err:
Do you guys think I am being overreactive and reading too much into this? Or do you worry whent his happens, too?
