So I have a few unrelated questions that I didn't want to make separate posts for.
1. Sir Merlin The Wizard my little false black charlie Buck, seems to be missing a patch of fur about the size of a dime, its on his upper back right off his shoulder. He also seems to have fleas, what can I do about the fleas? I saw only one on him and I got it off there was hardly any flea dirt on him at all, but what natural way can I get rid of them? Would a baking soda bath do it?
2. Update on Turtle: her sore hocks have completely healed and she's put on a noticeable amount of weight, still fighting with the remains of ear mites but other than that she's a very healthy little girl. She's been upgraded to a bigger nicer cage too! She's still inside, she still needs to put on a bit of weight. But my point is, would it be worth it to rebreed her while she's inside in a calm, warm environment? Do you think she would get stressed out like she did last time? If I do rebreed her she'll be inside until the babies are old enough to be weaned.
3. Last but not least, I have 4 does sharing a huge cage (that I plan to attach to another large cage later on) and I want to keep them together as a colony. Right now they are all under 3.5 months and they won't be bred the first time until they are 7-8 months old because I want to make sure they don't start fighting. They've been living together for quite some time now and all get along very well. If they stay as a colony which o do plan to attempt, I'm looking for advice to make it the best environment for them possible. Currently their cage is a 4x3x3 well its a bit bigger and smaller but I'm not going to measure it for specific inches, but once I put the other cage on the back of it, it'll expand to something about double of that. I will also more than likely have them on the ground with a stand for when it rains or maybe drop down legs so they don't sit in the bad weather.
If I think of anymore I'll add them
