My sentiments exactly.

I don't quite know what the TS wants from the seller now.

If the TS wants to keep the male SG (even though it's not what was expected), then there is no dispute to continue. Otherwise, return it and get the refund.

BTW, there is no requirement for sellers to be professionals or experts to offer and deal in this forum. If this were so, I think there will be very few sales threads posted (how many of us are really qualified?). It is up to the buyer to decide if the seller is someone you would want to deal with now and in future.

I'll probably freak out. After which I guess I'll question my son's judgement and inclinations......

Then the TS is guilty of abusing this forum if she has no intention to resolve any dispute. If she wants to take no further action, then close this thread.

The dispute tag is not based on votes. There are thousands of LYN members. It would be near impossible to get a majority vote on anything like this. However, one can request (nicely, please) the admin to attach the tag to the complainee.

I think you need to read the guidelines very carefully. Especially line 1 and line 7.

Meanwhile, I think I'm getting very close to breaking rule 3 (if I haven't already done so). So I'd better shut up.

MakNok has nailed it: All you `animal lovers' are doing your bit to do something good for God's poor creatures. But your knowledge, opinions and techniques differ. Isn't it better to pool your resources instead of slugging it out over who's more politically correct?

Right now I don't see a whole lot of `love' going round. I pity the SGs caught in no man's land.

Yes, go, Go GO, MakNok! You truly speak Pearls of Wisdom.

TS, I beg you to end this unnecessary bashing of BelleG and concentrate your precious `animal loving' energy on doing what you do best: helping animals in distress.

From what I see and read, BelleG is also traveling on the same ship. She has a different approach from some of you, but I sense she is as much as animal lover as you are.......

Perhaps this bit of discussion on the nutritional needs of SGs should take place in Pet's Wonderland and not be continued here.

After your comments, I'm a bit curious why the one of the highest rated diets for SGs by so called glider experts actually has a high corn and dog food content. The SunCoast SG Diet (which you referred to), which seems to frown on corn and cat food, was rated slightly lower by the same people. This discrepancy has piqued my curiousity.
