		<description>seems to me to be blood and if that&#039;s the case i&#039;m in and out of the house every weekend for mail ect for anyone that wants it.
As for knowing how you feel chaz,in a way yes,but.chances are if this rat thing came from the breeder they KNEW about it and it&#039;s killed some of my rats,i didn&#039;t knowingly sell you ringworm infected hogs or hogs that went on to die so i would say there is a big difference in circumstances there.</description>

		<description>Now i have made my apologies and agreed to pay vet fees as soon as possible,so i can leave here safe in the knowledge that although be it 3 mts later i have done the right thing,and as the old saying goes better a little late than never.So what more outside of that is it you want?</description>

		<description>just to make another valid point,if i&#039;m on benefits ect where would i find over £2,000 in fact for the extra high quality snakes and lizards i have/had here?
You think &quot;I&quot; would have that sort of money?in such a short space of time?
I wont explain this,because it is not your concern.
As for selling hedgehogs i have only sold 1 since my first litter,ALL my litters are registered,and money for that hedgie paid some of my veterinary fees and that customer was very happy with their hoglet.The only other hoglet to perhaps be homed is 1 i am giving freely as mentioned before.
Again yet another assumption.
And of course i have to pay for my rats being ill,these are very specialised tests.Only a few specialist vets actually do the tests.
Thanl you</description>

		<description>Hi Chaz,
Welcome to this blog :) As usual you make some very valid points. So many pets indeed. I&#039;ve been informed that since this blog has begun, Michelle has paid out around £1000 for lizards. She&#039;s also boasted quite often that she has had no problem selling her hoglets. They go for around £150 each. Her excuse about having to pay for her Rats being sick doesn&#039;t wash I&#039;m afraid.</description>

		<description>Hello all,

No im not to ill to &quot;lick a stamp&quot; just to ill to deal with lies and stress, i gave up on any sort of a refund, didnt even bother to send you the vet report and even tho i didnt bother for those who did Ian and Julie its obvious had i of done so i still would of got nothing. So luckily saved myself stress and more ill health by not persuing the matter, i apploud Ian and Julie for carrying on tho and will help anyone, spike including on any details ect they want/need to know and advise against you at all times to anyone for anything :) So you can quit using the line i didnt bother sending vets bills or what ever you keep banging on about (sorry havnt read most of your posts as there to hard going and most are off topic and full of rubbish)because i have M.E. (chronic fatigue) and £150 and a useless breeder of anything is really not worth my health/time. I do not bother discussing things with you by email as it would seem to be as hopeless as by stamps so it seems.

If your short of money or rolling in it (depending on which it is that takes your fancy today) you have no excuse either way, short of money dont own as much pets, rolling in it? then pay up, sort your pets out.. what was the results of the rats blood tests outof interest as you were clearly so worried that same sort of thing had happened to you which it had us, i.e ur rats had something when given back to you, know how we felt now?

Iv bought pets left right and centre? Online i have bought 2 rats and hunting for a new hog..? (this time being VERY careful of back ground research into breeders there hogs and so fourth)

		<description>Thank you very much for your comment Steph, very much appreciated.

It&#039;s very difficult to understand much from what Michelle&#039;s says because she contradicts herself so often.

In several posts she declares herself to be a millionaire. In another she says her &quot;husband&quot; earns millions. Then she&#039;s on benefits and struggling to bring up two disabled children. Then she is somehow able to afford a trip to Holland/Germany to pick up 3 hedgehogs which are also expensive buy. In another post she says she has &quot;a keen interest in buying investment properties abroad&quot;, but then she has to borrow money from her sons to put her hedgehogs into quarantine. Then after telling people her hedgies were in a quarantine facility she says Defra said she could quarantine them at home, (something Defra deny is possible by the way). Then we find her trying to sell her pet bulldog because her partner has left her and she&#039;s in desperate straits. The list just goes on and on. It&#039;s very difficult to keep up.

If anybody dares to mention these contradictions, then they too are all part of the great conspiracy against her, which is being led by jealous breeders.

For the past 6 months she has been moving home. These &quot;imminent&quot; moves always seem to coincide with the times the gets called out on her &quot;contradictions&quot; (which other less kind people may call them lies).

		<description>Wow talk about shooting yourself in the foot. i have recently joined some of the forums which all of these posts are on and have read through them all. i have never seen one person tell so many different stories ie. poor mum with 2 autistic sons who have had to donate their benefits to pay for the quarantine of these hoggies (who she then says were not quarantined but kept in her home) to &#039;i am a millionaress&#039; and don&#039;t care about the money.

To Mario what makes you think that it is (as you say) up to you when and if you pay any money to chaz and ian when you didn&#039;t sell sick hogs to them in the first place. it is michelle who should have paid up straight away and nothing to do with you but any caring breeder as she says she is would have paid up fast! michelle has had vets bill from both chaz and ian and could have just had the info released to her vet without the need for the paperwork so it is obvious that she has no intention of putting right her shoddy animal care and doing the decent thing and paying up. 

I breed dutch rabbits and if one of my babies went out sick i would pay up so fast! firstly because i wouldbe mortified that i had unknowingly sold somebody a sick animal and secondly because i wouldn&#039;t want to damage my reputation so badly that only the seriously uneducated would buy from me.

Is amazing that people like this are always the picked on and the whole world is in the wrong rather than them. Amazing how so many people can be wrong and one person right i thinks!

Nice try in trying to make out that other breeders are making up all this stuff about you because they don&#039;t want you around stealing all their sales but i don&#039;t know a single one of them and have not been made bias by anyone and i can see you for what you are.

to chaz and ian you are obviously not going to get a penny from this woman or you would have got it long ago but well done for spending so much time and effort nursing these little guys and yourselves round. we need more people like you and its a pity that the authorities are not so much more up on things to have banned this woman from keeping anything more alive that a houseplant :-)</description>
