I have only had to dose pets in the hundreds of pounds neighborhood, horse and heifer but accurate weight to dose is important. Ivermectin is good stuff used as directed. Sometimes piggies just scratch, has there been hair loss or balding? Duckie is still so small the dose will most likely...

Keeping greens and things fresh can be a challange because of the whole Goldilocks moisture stuff. It can't be too wet, it can't be too dry, it has to be just right. Green/red peppers and cukes have given me problems also. I wrap in cotton tea towels or paper towels depending on the size and...

This idea seems like a horrid thing to do to an innocent little pizza stone which should be in the kitchen fulfilling its pizza stone destiny as a... stone, on which one would bake pizza and other flat breads and things. Neither of my stones (pizza, that is) has a rough enough texture to...

I think most folks 'round these parts would suggest storage in a card board box open to the air. Inside the house. Most folks don't live along the Gulf Coast where moss grows on the fungus that grows on the mold. <insert smile and wink> I keep my cavy hay indoors in the climate control because...

Just to clarify, I choose to only give 1/8 cup of pellets per pig each day. They rarely leave even one lone pellet in the bowl, "bad" pellet or "good". And yes, I made a joke about B&P not reading the chart. It's true, my fuzzy friends are totally illiterate. And I made a joke about it. I know...

Howdy neighbor! My cavies came with the colorful mix pellet food also. I was in the same situation with the waiting on shipping. I opted to comb through the food to save only the pellet bits. The seeds, nuts, bolts, pinwheels, X and O bits and the like went to the compost pile. When the new...

Now how cool is that? Was he out looking for fishing tackle for Champ? May be not, leaf peeping? It sounds like she had a good day at work.

That is a really good question. I'm curious now.

When I got B&P they came with a bag of k**t** pellets. I order a replacement straight way but still had to wait the 5 days shipping. I dumped some of what I had on hand into a pie pan and went to work. I picked out the seeds and the nut bits and the X bits and the O bits and the other art...

The cavies I re-homed had been getting city water and pet store hay and pellets, limited vegies. We have well water but I used bottled water and they didn't seem to mind the change. Your tap water may not taste quite the same as they had before. The next town over may have well water or be...

Welcome to the neighborhood, Tabikat. Great name, by the way. There are a lot of us that were handed a cavy with food and cage attached to discover most everything we were told for care and maintainance was incomplete or just flat out wrong. Howdy, howdy to Tasha and you!

Y'all yankees! I didn't have much choice about the shipping cost but the day I got my surprize piggies I placed an online order with Sweetmeadow. We got that grab-bag with the 5 bags of hay and a big bag of pellets. Good stuff. Timothy doesn't like to grow within 300 miles of my place on the...

There sure is a lot to be said about how each of us came to and stayed at this site. A heep of us are surprize and impulse piggie people. I know I am. Life happens. August 14 cavies were not on my radar, I wanted more chickens....then the phone call. The new apartment complex lease states "no...

I have purchased K**t** timothy hay from the box-marts and online purchased Sweet Meadow (and I am waiting for my first Kleenmama order) but the best purchase I have found for my hay, dust and dander allergy is a script for Omnaris with a chlorpheniamine maleate kicker first thing in the...

Back last century when I was feeding a horse, a calf and several dozen chicken hens we frequented a feed store that mainly caters to the horse crowd; tack, saddles, bedding and assorted medical supply. Mike kept a couple of bunny hutches out front because in a farm and ranching area, stuff...

All are assorted types of lettuce of the loose leaf kind. Very home grower friendly, harvest outer leaves and it keeps on growing, I've grown several. I like to keep a folded piece of paper toweling in a new bag of greens, it seems to help absorb extra moisture and extend the life of my...

Cavies are on that raw foods only diet. I know, it seems kind of trendy now but it has worked for them for generations. (tongue firmly in cheek) A good place to start is reading the past post in the diet and nutrition forum. There is a thread on nutrition, a locked "read me" that includes a...

Maryanna, southeastern Oklahoma is kind of vague, beautiful, but vague... from Poteau to Pushmataha County, Ada to Idabel, the search term does cover a large area. (And all those years I thought that 9th grade Oklahoma history was a waste of time...) The "need to rehome" and "want to adopt"...

It has been my experience that "heirloom lettuce" can be most any leaf-type lettce that is slow to bolt (go to seed) and are east to maintain for home gardeners. With heirloom type a body can save the seed to plant again next season. "Heirloom lettuce" can mean most any type, usually...

There is a small animal rescue in Spring that only handles small and or exotics (but no snakes)...I don't recall how many pigs are up for adoption right now. Precious Critters Pet Rescue- email [email protected] or phone 281-413-2103 but they do post on petfinders There is always...
