    our bioactive reptiles

    Not really if you make sure to set it up right and once it's all balanced it's next to no work since you aren't cleaning it out or anything. Feed the snake, add water if the system is not automatic, and make sure the CUC hasn't suffered a die off. It's just a lot of little variables getting...

    our bioactive reptiles

    Reptile keepers tend to be very picky of appearances(such as just not keeping the hard water spots off the glass), slow to accept new things like methods of bioactive keeping, and don't really find random posts about daily activity or especially personal thoughts of reptiles that interesting so...

    is that true, in BEW program,using REW is totally prohibited

    You can use whatever the heck you want but anything with ruby tinted eyes is not going to show as BEW. REW has been used to improve the type (shape) of BEW but all rabbits that also come out REW are not useful unless they continue improving the type for breeding. Since REW is recessive and can...

    How Do You Share Your Passion?

    I'd have to actually see more people regularly to have anyone to bring up a conversation about my animals with. :lol: I've never been interested in starting conversations with random people in the grocery store or similar. Generally people who are interested will ask and people who are not...

    Booted Rabbit Questions?

    "May" produce nice brokens but not always. I got every range out of mine when bred to various solids and brokens. The first litter I posted was my booted mini rex to a solid castor with such a minimally marked kit it nearly looks like a charlie. Her to a broken or charlie results in a range...

    Creme or Champagne D'Argent?

    The US standard is the same for creme and champagne or maybe a fairly insignificant 1/2-1lb different (I lost my SOP). It's the UK standard that all argente breeds are 5-6lbs except champagnes that are 9-12lbs. With all the decades of breeding them and crossing them to things in the US they...

    Creme or Champagne D'Argent?

    They should basically be a different color of the same type of rabbit. I don't know why the Argentes were each made a different breed per color when they are mostly meant to be identical and often crossed to make more of each other. Depending on your area one or the other may have more...

    breeding my holland lop concerns

    Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. It depends some on having enough space and complex enough pen they can feel like they have enough private area when they want it. Then it depends on the rabbits. I had several live in colony while breeding just fine, a few that never got along, and...

    Doe Hates Nursing

    How much milk does she actually have? Some does will initially dislike the kits drinking but the discomfort of being full of milk is worse than the temporary discomfort of nursing and once they realize it gets rid of all the milk they usually continue to feed on their own. If she doesn't want...

    which one is dominant, BEW or REW??

    This is one case where you can get more of a blend of both. REW removes completely all pigment while BEW leaves only a small amount in part of the eye. Due to how eye pigments work you can get a BEW with varying amounts of ruby cast to the eye when you combine any C locus gene. Sable and himi...

    What happened to my cat?

    I had one fall in a cage and promptly decide that was not where she wanted to be. The little mini rex doe had just started building her nest and was not thrilled. :lol: I haven't had any truly attack a cat and it's best to be careful because cat claws and saliva have so much bacteria they...

    Doe possibly breed same day she kendled need advice

    Probably. I know many were pregnant within days to a week after giving birth often several times in a row. I was colony raising so the group of does were with the buck 24/7 for most of the year. Majority I didn't breed in winter because few could make a good enough nest for potential -30F...

    Help! What can I breed my girls with?

    Any self color (black, blue, chocolate....) will give you self and agouti (chestnut, red, lynx...) colors from the chestnut and any nonextension color (torts if self, red/fawn/orange if agouti) will give you more of those. That's the only certainty so for recessives a tort would result in the...

    Bunny bred with wild rabbit! Help!

    Donkeys and horses have different numbers of chromosomes and the resulting mules are frequently the example species people get in high school biology or intro classes on genetics so they often don't think the different chromosome numbers matter. It's fairly rare though for species to hybridize...

    homeopathic concentrations?

    I debated it but the company prefers to sell through doctors and you can't even view their products on their website without a health care provider account. Probably partially for this reason. :lol: I don't know if they'd answer or just tell me to talk to my doctor. Not sure how all the...

    homeopathic concentrations?

    The basic explanations are easy but it doesn't have 1 number on an x or c. It has 4 or 8 listed depending exactly what those sets of values mean or how they combine.

    homeopathic concentrations?

    Anyone know how to read the concentrations used in homeopathic medicine? I cannot find another listing of the concentration of this particular product anywhere nor an equivalent product with a dosage I know how to convert. It lists demineralized water, alcohol, and active ingredient in...

    Maples?

    I don't ever just try to compare pictures. I find it useless. The city just did that when asking people if they have ash trees due to an outbreak of emerald ash borers and a group of pictures was not half as useful as the various websites for that purpose. The tree ID websites are a general...

    Do dogs sweat?

    Occasionally it's a behavioral condition but usually excessively licking or chewing is allergies. Chicken is not the only thing by any means. I have one allergic to lamb and it turns out they use lamb broth as an alternative to chicken in nearly all the taste of the wild formulas and a few...

    Do dogs sweat?

    Only their feet release anything like sweat and it's not a noticeable amount. All liquid from a dog is either saliva or urine. Most animals rely mainly on cooling methods around the head like the blood vessels running through the ears or panting. Only some large animals that can't cram...
