They die in no time in captivity, he ranted about. In that situation, with his "I know it all" attitude. I would have been there all day trying to convince him other wise. I let it go. That is someone who probably lost many tangs due to lack of knowledge and now "knows all", and is happy to preach all of the wrong information.
Did he not know that you were standing there?
I feel like an idiot, having listened to these people for so long, and now just hearing some of these things is just so rediculous (not talking about this incident, but lfs in general).
I might still go back and get this pb if I can get a deal. He was soooo pretty. I have just never had to treat one so not sure if I'm ready for the challenge, knowing up front the he will need some tlc.
