    Simple question about Amoxitex - please help, must medicate ASAP

    Man you guys are awesome helpful! Sorry for the delay- I weighed out three tablespoons in a ziplock bag and it came out to 20g. I'm actually medicating a young rat (too young for baytril, besides which her uri is mild and I don't want to bring out the big guns when little guns will suffice)...

    Simple question about Amoxitex - please help, must medicate ASAP

    Hey, thanks for the quick response!! I suppose it may work for three tablespoons. I will try that now. My fear is that it won't be accurate, and dosing an animal that weighs less than 200g doesn't leave a huge margin for error. I wish they would put this kind of information on the package...

    Simple question about Amoxitex - please help, must medicate ASAP

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to calculate a dosage using amoxitex powder. The specs say it contains 150mg amoxicillin and 100mg tylosin per gram. That's all well and good, but I need to know how much of each drug is in one teaspoon. I have a kitchen scale used for weighing little creatures, but it...

    Anyone convert a cabinet or tv stand?

    Thanks! Lots of great ideas here. I'll have to start stopping by every thrift store I pass Luckily there are tons around here.

    Can outdoor quail make my parrot sick?

    Of course they'd be in a separate cage. You sure never mix pet parrots with anything else...He would more than likely maim them. The thing is he doesn't just sit in a cage. He has a few cages and playstands around the house and beyond that is usually just wherever I am. This means there is no...

    Can outdoor quail make my parrot sick?

    I have a Congo African Grey parrot. I'm looking into getting some backyard quail but because our winters get as cold as -30 I would have to bring the quail inside in the winter. I'm very concerned about them being outside and bringing something in for my Grey to catch. This is a huge deal and I...

    Anyone convert a cabinet or tv stand?

    Quote: I guess I can make sure it isn't the pressed stuff by just wetting it? What about insulation? I live in Canada and our winters are brutal, but I plan on bringing the quail inside for the winter.

    Anyone convert a cabinet or tv stand?

    I'm really not handy, and beyond that don't want to build something from scratch if I can help it. I'm wondering if anyone have converted a cabinet or TV stand (or other furniture that may be found at a thrift store) into a quail coop. I'm looking at keeping 5-8 quail. I will probably stick with...

    Help with small coop plans - 2-3 chickens

    Thanks everyone! I will save this post as it turns out chickens are currently illegal in my city...I'll just hold off until I can show them how beneficial it would be! In the meantime I guess I'll be working on a quail enclosure. That coop looks GREAT - I find it hard to believe you call that...

    I'm concerned and heavily sighing - some advice? (esp from 'outlaws')

    HEChicken, I totally agree. I find eating meat that is raised and killed humanely 100% acceptable. However, I have been vegetarian since I was 14 and after all these years I simply don't see meat as food anymore. I'm very healthy and see no need to reteach myself to eat animals just because I...

    I'm concerned and heavily sighing - some advice? (esp from 'outlaws')

    I don't think I could bring myself to kill any animal. I would likely look to sell extra males. I feed kibble for convenience when needed but I usually cook for all my pets as it is much healthier. I also would not want them hooked on the taste of "fresh bird" as I would not want to put my birds...

    I'm concerned and heavily sighing - some advice? (esp from 'outlaws')

    HEchicken, that's what I figured with keeping just one. Most of the exotics I keep, aside from my reptiles, are social creatures and I would never consider making them live alone. The only exception is my CAG, since we are his family and he's with us all the time. I thought 3 would be a good...

    Greetings from Canada!

    Quote: I'm from Mississauga. Do you sell hatching eggs, by any chance? I won't be ready for at least a few weeks and likely notably longer, but I'm trying to find a source early on. That and knowing a local chicken lover would be awesome!
