    Indian Runner color questions

    I've had a lot of ducklings hatched this year and a majority have coloring similar to this one. All the females are fawn and white runners. I have fawn and white, and black runner drakes. I also have one young pekin drake and a mallard drake. The mallards usually keep to themselves. Can't...

    I hope I made the right decision...

    I think you did the right thing for now. If the issue is heart related the meds. can really make a difference. My border collie stopped eating and other than fluid in the chest all the other tests came back in the normal range. The vet started him on heart meds. and a few others for a short...

    how can i get my dog to eat his food?

    Do you have any good brands that have different formulas or meat sources? My main food has four different meat sources, but I also switch to a different formula, same brand from time to time. The base ingredients are similar so it's not so hard on the dog's system. When I do this I haven't...

    biting bird... any advice?

    I remember them telling me (when I got my male) that you need to work with the females every day to keep them tame. And that the females can be more cage aggressive than the males. My boy is still bites a bit while in the cage, but is getting better. I did find I had to take him out of sight...

    VENT:Secret Santa Gifting-Yuck!

    Maybe the child doesn't have any help with picking a gift or the money for a gift or even a way to get a gift. That happens to some kids. Maybe the child only has the option of picking from their own items.

    I know this sounds stupid but.....

    You should do a 10 to 25% water change once a month. (take out that much water and replace with fresh) Maybe more with goldfish. If you use a gravel vacuum to take the water out you accomplish cleaning the gravel and removing the water at the same time. The vacuum will pull out the waste...

    I don't know a lot - have only had my three since April. They are Nigerians - one wether, who was over a year and two does that were just babies. At first the babies were very friendly and the wether wouldn't get anywhere near me. Now he asks for pets and attention. The girls don't like pets...

    Please Pray for.......

    I'm sure she will be fine. My brother had that surgery at around the same age. It went well and his eyes were perfect after the surgery. It's hard when they are so little, but he recovered quickly.

    Atention everyone.

    mr.mc. : What I would do is put a treat or two in his cage, so he knows what they are, and you can also see if he likes them. As soon as you find a treat that he likes, try letting him watch you set a treat next to your hand, and see if he will take it. After that you can try to give him one...

    Quote: What a funny bird - at least to someone not being called a bad name. Very interesting that she makes up names for animals and people.

    Atention everyone.

    mr.mc. : One more question first. dose he get any treats from his food bowl, toys in his cage, ect? I haven't given him any special treats in the food bowl. His food has some things he seems to enjoy more than others. I could pay attention to what he seems to like the best. He loves his...

    Am I robbing my daughters (Christmas) childhood...?

    Everyone does Christmas a bit different. Growing up we always had a big Christmas, but we also didn't get gifts or toys through out the year. One thing for our Birthday and that was it. Never asked for things in the stores because it wasn't going to happen. A lot of things we got for...

    Atention everyone.

    Waves hand in the air. I've got a question. Have a young parrotlet. About 2 months now. It has taken him awhile to start to feel comfortable. Funny enough I found I hated the cage I had for him. Got a new one and he started getting better right away. Guess he didn't like it either. He is...

    You don't pay me enough to be your "work wife"

    I was a shy timid person most of my life and worked in a place very similar to what you are going through. It really beat me down. One day I was yelled at for no reason and had enough. Walked out. Best thing I've ever done. It was hard for awhile, but during that time I learned to stand up...

    Day one on the road to becoming smoke free.

    Way to go!!! I'm almost at 4 weeks using the e-cig. Discovered it about a year ago on this board and did pretty well, but didn't keep at it. Decided to try again and it is worked very good. Not easy at first, but better than anything I had tried in the past. I still think about smoking and...

    Aaaargh! Dog breeders!

    Ultimately it is the breeders choice what happens to their pups. Honestly if I was looking at a breeder that didn't have restrictions/contracts regarding breeding and spay/neuter I would walk away. I am currently looking for a puppy of a herding breed. I want a pup with the best chance of...

    Care Information on Small Parrot Birds , help?

    If you've never had a bird before then a budgie or cockatiel is a good choice. I had budgies growing up and they were wonderful. The two that were mine I was able to hand feed from time to time and they were just wonderful birds. I've had two cockatiels and they were both good birds. The...
