I Just wonder. When I was very active I was able to make local purchase/ trades with fellow southern California forum members. I think a local "chapter" or mini group of members to have a "hub" where we can trade, breed/split, and co-purchase ooths etc. Can be benificial to a local community. Feeders and other supplies could also be shared. I live near the 5 and 91 freeway close to orange and L.A. County areas. Work in fountain valley. With a little collaboration we can further our hobby and save a little money. Plus share alot of advice
