I suggest you guys to put recommended breeder on the first page.
As all the newbie (including me), we cannot tell who is being such a good breeder and can give healthy s.g. Promote them. Not all will read this forum. So put at other website. Put at mudah, and promote this link there.
As for myself before having s.g, i have no idea that most at mudah.my are selling not-good s.g. The seller did give me a chance to see his breeding room, and pick my own glider. He is so nice and everything seems OK until I realize after 3 days, my s.g is underage, 34 days (i compare with the chart), and he put more than 13-20 underage s.g in 1.5 feet cage.
Before buying S.G, I do make research. I do read about s.g. I do know about we need bigger cage for big cage. And there! i did not notice that on that day. We do make mistakes.
Befor having S.G, I didnt know how does healthy S.G looks like. So, I just make my own test. I make her run. She run fast. OK. I look at her eye. Black. No other colour. OK. Her fur grey and black. OK. I make her climb. Oh she's good. OK. And there! I bought underage joey. (I did not know how to agak the size). But what I did not know is what that cant see in our naked eye. Possibly inbred. Drugged.
When i owned my glider, i learnt more and more, like ohhh, this is crabbing, ohh they need calcium fruit, ohh thiss is this,, that is that.
All i want to say is, read doesnt mean anything. But when we experienced it, we learnt more and more and more.
In conclusion, all you expert, please pleaseeeee pleasee show the right path to us-newbie. Give us courage!!
p/s : I did know all of you give a very good advise but in a liltle tiny sometimes please dont use discourage word. like before the word damage. It make us feel like we were the worst pet owner ever. I know
you did not mean it, but ...

.
lol!!
dun worry la...
they all mean good...
just maybe not the best choice of words....
we r all here to share and learn
what's done is done, it's the future that we can correct...
past is already done...
as for your suggestion of putting the recommended breeder on the 1st page, i think it's hard to be done...
who are we (forumers) to decide who's a good breeder n who's not?
one might say that A is good but another might say that A is bad....
also, if we were to put the list on the front page, it's only we (forumer in this thread) acknowledge that that breeder is good, it doesn't mean that the breeder is good to everyone...
everyone has their expectation
every breeder has their own concern n way of showing love to their babies
the best way to judge is to make comparison before buying...
and also to read up a lot before u make ur purchase....
i'm sure a good breeder wouldn't mind showing u his/her babies before u place your order...
cheers!
