N-OS, spare in the sense of what I would not ordinarily be keeping. If I don't adopt them out, I do keep them. I do sometimes keep more than what I really need for breeding... because I've had occasionally happen that I had an especially good litter, and if I only keep one male or one female from that litter, and it dies for whatever reason... then I have nothing left from that litter to work with.
