I was a BYB of Guinea Pigs when we found three female piggies someone had dumped in the reservation near our house... and one was pregnant.. and I didn't know anything about Guinea Pigs... and by the time the books came from Amazon she gave birth and the male baby mated with another of the females(at least it wasn't his mom). Guinea pigs are amazing- within minutes of birth they are eating hay, apparently they don't actually need mother's milk at all. The only mammal like this I have ever seen.
I got REALLY good at finding piggy homes- and now we have two males!

lol--I bought a guinea pig from a pet store years ago...ended up that she was pregnant when I brought her home!! They are amazing little critters--I enjoy them.
I saw two pheasants "do it" behind my barn one day - that doesn't qualify me as a byb though. But, those pheasants!:yikes: The very definition of slam bam.
I was a BYB of fancy mice i sold the onese that were shwo quality/pretty colors and kept the rest(no one went to a food home and i made decent money off of them but i was 14)
Zoom, the same thing happened to me. When I was 10 I bred my hamsters. The female had 15 of them! I kept looking in the cage, and I counted 11, and I thought, "Wow, that is so weird, I thought there were more. They must be hiding." But one day we came home and there were bloody skeletons scattered over the cage. I was very, very shocked and it definitely could be considered under the label "traumatizing."
