Thanks, I just took a look at that. Looks like I'll have to return/throw out a lot of stuff, it's so hard to find reliable information. I bought a few things that aren't the best to use, so I'll try to do better.

If you've already made the purchase, then fine, but if not, check out craigslist or a local rescue, lots and lots and lots of Russians needing homes.

Their adult russians for sale are wild caught
