If gerbils and hamsters could potentially become invasive, wouldn't you think they would have already done so? Probably millions have escaped their cages/homes over the last 50 years.

I can understand banning certain species, but to go to the point where pet shops would have to close down is ridiculous.

I am a gerbil owner, and also my son owns a giant African millipede. I am also a big fan of Betta fish, and have owned many throughout my life. I was recently thinking about getting one. I better make sure I get one in the next 10 days just in case.

This is certainly a lot to take in. If it passes, it will be a sad day for many people.
