May I print it out for customers at work/other people I think could benefit?

I can tell that you put a lot of time into this, and it is excellent! I only wish half the customers at work took these things into account.
Sure, but you may want to change some parts because I was directing it to the members on the board.

Some things I missed and would like to add:

Reasons to get a pet

Good and bad reasons to get a pet are as follows:

OMG! Its SO cute! I want it!!!! *Bad reason* You don't get a pet just because its cute. You must be able to ensure that you will be responsible enough to care for it for many years ahead.

What a sweet animal! I would love to have this sweetie, but I'll have to weigh out my situation and see if its possible to ensure I will be able to provide this animal with the best love and care possible. (Good reason)

My other pet is alone and needs company. I cannot provide him/her with enough attention. I need another pet. (Good reason if being though about the same specie, but be sure to have an extra cage/room in case they don't get alone).

Poor animal is in horrible conditions, or needs love. I must rescue it. (Good reason as long as you are sure you will be able to provide proper care and attention).

etc. etc.

Breeding

If you are not a well qualified breeder, have never experienced breeding, aren't sure of your pet's condition, or aren't going to provide the pets bred with their forever home, do NOT allow your pets to breed. Pets should be *pets* and if you are not experienced, breeding can be risky. Not only can you put your pets in risk, but you can also put the babies in risk if you don't know what you're doing. Irresponsible breeding is ALWAYS a no no, and a HUGE responsibility. If you cannot handle that, which most pet owners cannot, do NOT ever allow your pets to breed.

Everyone, please add to the list if there's anything missing.
