Thanks for the ideas and also the cautionary things, all good things to think about. I may talk to some other folks who do transport and see what they normally do in these situations, especially the sick animals.

I belong to a few Cavy groups on FB where people are usually looking for transport for purchased animals from shows, and it's gotten me thinking. I happen to travel up to the NY/NJ area from South Central PA very frequently (2x a month at least) and I'm beginning to wonder if I could make a...

Thanks Akane! I’ll look into those groups. I’m already on East Coast Cavy Classifieds, which a lot of the show people seem to frequent on FB. But I agree, the major cavy forums are insane. The show people I’ve met have all been super friendly and helpful, the pet folks…not so much. And...

I was a long-time lurker here a while back, and I've recently been lurking yet again! I've been dying to get involved with rabbits and cavies, both showing and breeding, but since I was going through a divorce and living in an apartment, space was a big problem. Now, I'm looking at purchasing...

What a cute girl! :) You might be able to find out exactly what she is with one of the doggie DNA tests that they sell, but I would call the company first.

Welcome back Kyle! How do you feel about wiener dog sweaters? I have a min-pin/dachshund mix who could use a sweater (especially if you need the practice, lol). She's 8 lbs and I call her my "redneck designer dog". Glad to hear your legal issues are soon to be at an end. I hope everything gets...

Hi SelfFueled from another PA bunny fan :) I'm up in Harrisburg, but will probably be moving back to Maryland in the next 6 months. There are a few silver fox breeders in the area - There is Black Tree rabbitry, they are about 25 minutes above Harrisburg (so probably about an hour-ish from...

The fly predators are awesome! You need to keep the treatments timely, but they work like crazy. It seems counter-intuitive to use a bug to get rid of another bug, but I've seen the results firsthand in the horse barns I've visited that use them. They're about the size of the period at the end...

Spend the money and get them pregnancy tested. At this point, if you decide that you really would rather they NOT carry the genes from the TB, you're still at a point where your vet can do something to stop the pregnancy. At this point the fetus is tiny and super-undeveloped, so it'd be a lot...

I think the neighborhood dogs were disturbed by this strange, high-pitched noise that just came out of my mouth ;) Love the color and the chubby-wubbiness :D

Aww, Duncan is cute :) I am a major donkey/mule lover.

I am thirding (fourthing?) Puff! I couldn't figure out what the heck the picture was at first :)

THANK YOU. My family raised labradors for years, and it annoys the living heck out of me when these terms get tossed around. Sadly I think a lot of animal lovers buy into concepts that they then parrot without understand exactly WHAT they're talking about.

Eeee the eyeliner babies :D I love them.

Which breeder was this? I live in PA, so NJ is a not-too-terrible roadtrip for me :) I've been contemplating getting a Flemish for awhile.
