Temporary because I don't need 5. My husband found this thing panicking about the yard this morning and luckily was only taking the little shiba out. No hotdogs on hand but leftover turkey worked. Having gotten hold of him it's obvious why it worked. Even his spine is visible from how...

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...

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...

Anyone ever seen mangalista (mangalica)? A little more quality over quantity since they take 3x as long to mature but make low fat and apparently very tasty pork products. I wonder if the heavier furred ones have useful hair. I think I need some of the black piglets from the types/varieties...

It is a rare thing at all to happen and this past year has been a bit unlucky with what is probably only our 3rd lost kit in 5 years and our first stillborn litter. We actually have not lost an adult until now and we do not put down culls like with rabbits. There isn't much market for show...

Hopefully it goes better for my health this year. A freak snowstorm the day before hiking took our first hike of the year from a forecasted 52F to well..... about here with the thawed water now frozen into a layer of ice under inches of snow that included hidden ice boulders I started wishing...

You'll have to wait until my phone charges for pics as it's my only camera right now and wouldn't recognize the car charger but I needed some advice to start treating some rodents. A busy end of the week finally concluded with a trip to pick up a new lavender corn snake to potentially breed...

I'm not in a hurry and I know there are some local breeders but I lost my contacts I had and we travel a lot around the midwest or if someone is coming through for a show. Located in Cedar Rapids, IA. Frequently travel to Chicago, occasionally to st louis. I have been wanting to get back into...

Relatively anyway since I'm talking about retics and burmese or anything of that nature. I was going to get a baby kankakee bull in the fall but this guy got posted to a group from the person who collected most of the line that was spread before wild collection was stopped. Male bulls are a...

I was quite surprised to pick up a rat that had never been handled and just have him curiously wander around my hand with a sign of intelligence about what he was seeing. Unlike my other rodents, except chinchillas, who just seem so lost in flight mode they can't do anything but run off if not...

We have made our 5th generation. That may not seem like much to rabbits but considering it's a 4month gestation and one of my fully adult pairs after a couple years of growing did not breed for another 2 years after pairing. Then lost their first litter to wait another 4 months it gives a...

Got "tagged" by one of my snakes for the first time. Luckily baby Eoghan doesn't have good aim and I just have a puncture on the skin between my thumb and finger. Python teeth still hurt. I always brush their backs to see what their mood is and wham. OK.... The python mood today is I dare...

Ugh class today Aiko was crazy, wild puppy that wanted to do lap running and despite 2 types of treats she was getting tired of them so my voice commands were not having as good of effect without a good reward. They record the classes to put on youtube and I did something that is going to look...

She was one of the best behaved, if a little puppy bouncy, dogs there and got a badge. Which she promptly tried to eat when we got home and I had to chase her around the room. She is a horrible klepto that is always carrying something in her mouth. :lol: It's a little less amusing that she...

I tried mouse breeding to produce my own feeders and did not like it. Not the least of which is they smell horrid compared to my gerbils. I was not all that upset when they escaped and were found by the cats except for the fact the big male crammed under a plastic drawer until he got stuck and...

Isn't it a cute little snake. Now if you can name what the sucker is that will require a 6-8' enclosure you get bonus points. :lol: I call him Eoghan (oh-un, old celtic spelling argued about by etymologists to the point I don't care what modern names and meanings it spawned) and for now he's...

Born jet black she turned silver last week but she's in process of turning back to black :lol: The dark just started appearing on her back and legs again. We went playing in the snow by the river. It was right above freezing so slush on any paved parts and half her crashes were on purpose...

Ok I can't wait to post something. I have looked at dozens of breeds, traveled the nearby states, talked to even more breeders, ended up with a runt husky in the process, and thought I'd found what I wanted in some "inuit dogs" in Indiana. I've been waiting on a puppy from this breeder since...

I don't even remember what I was looking for on craigslist but 2 days later I ended up with these. :lol: I'm trying to reduce guinea pigs for something that is less work and sells for more. I got these diamond doves at like 1/4th what those colors would cost and at less than a year old...

In over a decade of medicating me with everything you can imagine and then wondering why I don't respond or how I'm still standing and talking a test was finally run that did not come back normal. All my physical problems, all my "psychiatric" problems (so they claimed and I always insisted had...
