    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...

    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!

    Help with small coop plans - 2-3 chickens

    I'm still in the research stages, but I'm trying to get an idea of the size (and maybe some plans) needed for a coop and run made for 2-3 chickens. They will be allowed free range of the yard for much of the day, but this may not be possible every single day (and certainly not in the winter) as...

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

    Hey guys! So I have done a lot of research on BYC - though I plan to do MUCH more before even thinking about going ahead - and unfortunately I found that they are illegal in my city. I live in Mississauga, a suburban area. We have a large backyard and have figured we can section off up to a 7' X...

    Greetings from Canada!

    Hi everyone! I live in Ontario, Canada, in a suburban area. I have kept many common and exotic pets over the years. Birds are by far my favourites - I have worked with rehabbing aggressive/frightened parrots and am happily owned by a 3.5 year old African Grey Congo who I hand raised form a...
