Yep, I do have a male betta, right here close to the computer. And, my daughter left me 2 males bettas when she went back to Georgia. My male is very dark blue, one of her's is orange and the other one is turquoise with orange fins.
And my horses are the love of my life (well except for Mike, the two legged love of my life). I am going to get brave enough to put my coming 5 year old filly under saddle this spring. I would love to do some endurance riding with her.
Now, I have to ask......What in the world are you doing with 60 guinea pigs ???????? I used to breed guinea pigs for Pet Co and Pets Mart, years ago. I had about 40 females, but really no clue how many total that I had at any one time. I love guinea pigs. Have you ever seen the guinea pig site called Guinea Pigs Unlimited ? It is on the MSN boards.
PS. Your cochins are beautiful !
