    Emergency help needed!!

    Maybe hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip to clean the wounds. Clindamyacin is a good medication for healing without bacterial infections. I’m not a dr. Just used to work in the medical field and now of some cross over remedies and meds. If it’s a healthy baby it may just pull through the pecking that...

    Baby Box Turtle questions

    Only 30% of hatched reptiles survive in the wild. You have a baby that survived your chicken, but might actually have a better chance with you. This is the fine line where reptile keepers will actually tell you to keep the animal. If you are providing adequate care and you find that the animal...

    Switch Heat Source from Heat Lamp to Brinsea Eco Glow

    Virulent Newcastle Disease or VND, Lots of Anguish, Little Solutions Offered

    I was just on the cdc site and read up on all this. On another note, I just find it funny when others take any opportunity to make this or any other subject personal.

    Virulent Newcastle Disease or VND, Lots of Anguish, Little Solutions Offered

    Isn’t this disease spread in many different forms? Can be carried airborne or on a persons clothing for example. Doesn’t the majority of the population consume eggs? It can be spread on eggs and yet we have them in our grocery stores. “Exhibition birds” is a fancy term for fighting birds...
