Long story short, our 4h club is doing barn hunt this year and I volunteered to be the rat person. So last week I picked up a mom rat and her 4- 5 week old babies from someone off craigslist. Obviously they had to of had a male rat since their are babies, don't know what happened to him. They...

Hi guys its been a while since I have been on here, life has been a bit overwhelming. :( As the topic says I have the potty training blues and was hoping maybe someone on here has some suggestions. As some of you may remember, Ethan ( 3 next month) was born not breathing, and no heart beat...

We picked Zelda up last Saturday, so far she is doing great! She is such a smart pup so far she has learned her name, sit, here, down, she has slept through the night in a crate from day 1 with no crying, pretty good considering she had never been in a crate before! Potty training :oops: needs...

Ok maybe I am wrong but I thought males didn't have dewlaps? A friend of a friend posted on face book that they are looking to rehome their male lop rabbit because he has cage aggression, he is fine once you get him out but when you stick your hand in it he lunges and growls. No, I am not...

My new puppy was born on Saturday now for the long 8 week wait :lol: Calypso had a huge litter of 11 girls and 1 boy. Good thing I wanted a girl :lol: Not sure which pup I am getting yet as we are waiting until they are older before we choose. My daughter wants a black pup instead of a sable...

I am thinking of getting back into meat rabbits this summer a friend of mine whose kids are in 4H have those breeds along with New Zealands. So I am debating between Champagnes or SF, which do think would be a better choice? I am looking to just get a pair or at the most a trio since I really...

My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in the Ohio State University shooting. My son and his girlfriend are both safe, but mom was about to have a heart attack! The relief I felt when my son called and said they were both safe... words can not explain. :cry:

We have had Frost since Friday afternoon, so far she has not touched her pellets. I don't know if its because it is not the same brand they was feeding at the store or if she is just a stubborn bunny! :lol: They feed them the Rural king brand food at the store, but I didn't want to get a 50...

So I was bad :lol: I went to Rural King to buy dog food and came home with a bunny too! She is a very pretty mini lop my daughter is going to be so surprised she has been missing her bunnies since she decided to sell her dutch rabbits last winter. I really suck at colors for rabbits, and...

We are finally done with fair for the year!! :bunnyhop: Daughter didn't do as good this year :( I am not sure what exactly happened with that, I guess she was just too nervous. She forgot some of the stuff she was supposed to do in the obedience ring, and my guess because she was so nervous...

OK I tried an experiment and it worked!! :shock: :lol: I let my broody buff set on 6 eggs, so far 2 have hatched and a third has started to hatch. I have read that it is fine to let them stay in the coop with mom that she and the rooster will protect them from the other hens, as nature has...

This sucks! I have been with the same vet for 20 years now I loved the main vet and the vet techs, and the personal feel to the office. I will say I do not like the second vet he brought on to help out, First he is a little scared of large breed dogs, and he is very condescending toward people...

I thought I would ask here since the sheltie forum I asked this question on originally, basically acted like I was the cruelest person in the world for even suggesting this. :o I am considering building an outdoor kennel for the dogs for when we take the kids on day trips that way the dogs...

I have found myself in the care of 7 newborn kittens. Husbands co-worker found a dead mother cat in his shed with her kittens, he said they was still wet, so probably just born. Right now I am giving them Nutri-vet with colostrum milk replacer, and of course wiping them after they eat. They...

Well at least that is what most of my relatives and neighbors think :lol: Friday we will be picking up a new puppy, a Siberian husky! :P Not sure if the timing is exactly the greatest, but we will make it work :lol: We have been discussing and debating breeds for a while now, flip...
