Default Re: So, you want a reason to not mix species?

I don`t know what is considered doing well.
When you breed frogs and try and sell ff cultures and crickets you can loose more money from people not buying them and you making too many.
All these extra sales and time detracts from paying attention to the frogs which cuts quality.
Also buying supplies to resell takes space and packing, etcetera.
To hire employees cuts down on quality control, which would be what you need to do to sell all these extra items.
To really know what cuts quality and what is doable in a business you have to try it and find out how hard it actually is.
And landscaping companies don`t sell plants and dirt, they care for the plants and buy dirt, mulch etc from some place else that specializes in that aspect of landscaping

What I consider large may be concidered small in the US.

I did not mention a business name nor would I.

From what I understand- I don't look at their books.

Please don't assume it's UE. I know that's the name that is familiar Canada and the US but let's not throw names out there. I know nothing about their business!


Lets be realistic here

Does a landscaping company sell plants only? No They sell dirt,etc

Does a pet shop only sell animals? No they sell food and housing,etc.

Does a fly company sell just flys? No they sell containers,medium,etc

This breeder does sell mostly frogs but are they going to sell food for those frogs-YES

Just wanted to clarify my statement
