    Bot fly eggs on horse?

    Sorry if I came off a little snappy, I didn’t mean it that way. But thanks, the article was very helpful.

    Bot fly eggs on horse?

    I went through it and it says in the article that bot eggs are firmly affixed to the hair and doesn’t mention different bot flies having different eggs. I think they probably aren’t but eggs but I will still take and post a picture tomorrow just to get a second opinion.

    Bot fly eggs on horse?

    @KikisGirls I didn’t have my phone on me but I’ll try if they’re back tomorrow. Thank you for the link, they look kind of like the picture in the article but more spaced out and larger and they also aren’t attached to the hair like that. Do different kinds of bot flies lay different eggs...

    Bot fly eggs on horse?

    I went into the pasture today and both my horse and my donkey have small whitish yellowish specks around their legs, and the donkey has some on her head. I looked closer and tried to remove them and I could easily brush them off with my hand. I think they might not be botfly eggs because they...

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    @Soon2BChixMom Thanks, do I need to chop the meal worms up before I offer them or keep them whole?

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    Any other advice for handling them? They still run away even if I just stick my hand in their container. I’ve tried giving them mashed peas and also carrots that were grated then finely chopped up. If I put the treats on a plate and set it down they’re fine. If I hold the treats in my hand they...

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    I chopped up my Spanish project to close off their pool so they can’t get out. It’s weird but it works. I can also set it up outside so they can spend a few minutes outdoors.

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    Currently I have their pool surrounded with boxes and lids to block them from jumping out. There’s nothing in my garage to scare them except for me so they’ll be fine for tonight. Tomorrow I’ll tape some cardboard around the pool though. How do you guys recommend handling them? They get so...

    @Lil Drake40 Okay, thank you. I’ll pick up the liquid and put it over some mashed pieces of banana.

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    Yeah it’s time released. Since these won’t work, do I need to get special niacin supplements just for ducks or a different kind of capsule?

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    Okay, so I have them set up in a kiddie pool I bought at Walmart today with their new shavings. I watched them for about an hour, they can’t get out because the sides are too slippery but I’ll have to set up something around it for when they grow. I picked up a heat lamp but I don’t think that...

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    @MatthewsHomestead This is one of my ducks- much younger than 8 weeks but you’ve provided a lot of useful info, especially about what I should do with them later on with the high temperatures down here. Thank you!

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    @Soon2BChixMom Thank you so much for all of your help. I’ve already made a water dish out of a milk jug with big holes cut in the sides. A stuffed toy might be a good idea! Or a really really cute one at least. I’ve noticed they kind of pick at things so I don’t know if something fluffy would...

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    @Soon2BChixMom Okay, so this list is mostly for my personal use/organization but could you please tell me if there’s anything I need to change about it? I’m sorry I’m so lost but here goes: Tonight I’m going to: Switch their bedding out and move them to my bathroom where it is consistently...

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    Okay, I’m glad I didn’t harm them. I’ll use a smaller container next time though since they’re so young.

    Doing my best to raise these ducks

    @Soon2BChixMom My garage is normally warmer than my house but not as constant. My house is almost always 70 degrees but I could keep them in the bathroom. Do I need a heat lamp if I keep them inside? Tractor Supply is far away but are reptile heat lamps like they sell at petsmart okay for...
