Why you should avoid starter kits

Everything provided in one easy step, no need to spend hours researching, all the hard work done for you! What’s not to love? 🤔

Here’s the issue 👇

👉 From a psychological point of view & In our experience, doing lots of prior research/planning & then working towards eventually getting your new pet fosters much more long term enthusiasm & commitment to it, as appose to it all being done in one easy step. It also gives you the opportunity to decide if you really want to make the commitment.

👉 Because humans are highly impulsive by nature promotiong an easy option such as those provided by starter kits vastly encourages impulse buying.

👉 They remove the excitement & creativity of putting together your own personalised set up.

👉 They frequently (but not always) contain sub standard items that quite often need

upgrading/replacing anyway.

👉 They reduce the opportunity to learn about the importance of the equipment & why it is needed – something we can’t stress the importance of enough!
