So I've seen this a lot within the zoo community and I'm curious about it. There seems to be this mentality where more experienced zoophiles are completely unwilling to talk to beginner/young zoos or zoos without animals. It seems like to them, beginner zoos are just not worth their time and effort to even talk to in the first place. I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it were not the help of one fellow zoo who walked me through what the lifestyle entailed when I was first starting out 5 years ago. What the positives and what the negatives are. This zoo is still my go to guy if I have any questions to this day.
I'm by no means experienced, I literally got my doggie companions late last year. So, I'm still new to this whole thing of being consistently active and in a long term relationship. I cannot tell you how many times I tried reaching out to someone to just chat and getting ignored, before I got my girls. However, now that I have dogs I get messages out of nowhere, and I get replies back. If someone reaches out to me, I'll try and answer their questions to the best of my abilities if they are seeking advise.
Why does ignoring the noobs appear to be the case? Is it a trust issue? Is it that you feel they aren't worth the effort? IDK, I'm rambling at this point, what are your thoughts on this?
