my french lops (1 yr old almost each) are licking nonstop. they have drool constantly on their chins and front feet. no sneezing or coughs (well the bucks coughs a couple times when his litter is changed but stops after 1-2 coughs)
this started when I began keeping the house open (windows and...

I found small hard paper littler boxes for the lops cages today.
filled with that 'spongy paper' and put them in
the buck was driven nuts by the box and is trying to destroy it
he has dumped it out and refused to leave it alone. he will not get in it. he is dragging it everywhere in his cage...
my 2 french lops are getting pretty stinky
my buck manages to pee out of his cage. he ripped out the urine gaurds and broke them
I have tried paper pellets, unscented cat litter and corn "Sand"
what can I do?
we want to put them outside but it is already cold out and they don't have a winter...
tonight we picked up (freecycle) a beautiful chocolate colored female mastiff
my 3 yr old son will not stop screaming in terror when she comes in the room and then she tried to tear into our rabbit cages in front of my daughters. Hubby was barely able to grab her off!

I have squash, cukes, zucchini, banana peppers, hot peppers (can't spell the name), 'fajita' peppers (shaped like a round small bell pepper but spicy)

I have to give Pookie his ivermac (sp) shot

The breeder measured it up and it is ready to go in a syringe

I was driving up my street just a block from my house and something ran in front of my truck. I stopped thinking it was a cat as it was coming from the fire dept bay area. It ran past the dumpster on my right and stopped to look at me next to a house.
So I pulled my truck over and hit the high...
I have spoke before on the 40+ feral cats on my block. Well one took up residence under my pier and beam home. I have tried sealing it out but she digs under in the nice soft flower bed. The cat has taken over my kids' swing set and made it so nasty they can't play on it. We plan to get chickens...
yep, been a lousy first week for Pookie.
he was being put in his cage and he wigged out and caught his left rear leg on the wire
he is not putting much weight on it
he CAN use it if he has to (he climbed to my shoulder as I was checking him)
he can still sit up and beg but keeps that foot...
Pookie got himself in a jam last night
turned his sleeping box around and got trapped in it...so he peed in it and laid in it
now he is a stinky mess and not cuddly at all

the best way to go about this?
