Iwill try and keep everyone posted what should I be feeding him

Thanks for your quick reply but its still out of my budget

If there still 4 sale I may be interested and would like a pic. send to vtskihouse@aol.com

Hi , I am interested and could easily meet but cant afford the 500 if your still interested let me know and I will contact you directly.
