Our duckling was attacked by a rat 4 days ago and now she can't walk. She just rolls around she has started putting pressue on the leg that was bit. Any advice to help her walk?
A rat got in and attacked our 2 week old ducklings. One injured none dead. He got her by the hip (no broken bones) she can move her leg if pressure is applied she needs assistance eating and drinking (she doesn't want to stand) i have her on a spray and save a chick. Any other ideas? Think...
I had a duckling attacked by a rat. She survived but cannot walk. Her legs move but she's sore. Anybody else have something similar happen and did the animal make it?
He's my neighbor's problem now. He's returned a few times but I think he's gone for good, and as for Opossums don't dig I watched him dig when he was in my coop. He just can't did well.
I never really wanted him relocated, either he dies or he leaves my hens alone. Problem is I can't shoot him. Residential neighborhood. Barbwire was mentioned by a friend of mine. Put it across the fence line I think he'd walk around it.
I have American Bulldogs, they're just a bunch of pansey's. They're just as scared of the Possums as me. When we move I'm debating getting a LGD for the goats, rabbits and poultry.
I don't leave feed out at night. They lay in the afternoon. He kills the chickens eats the innereds and leaves. Leaving meat will attract cats, electifying will hurt my dogs. I caught the possum in the coop in the middle of murdering my Cochin, So I know he's not scavenging.
Too bad we're in Florida or id call the turtleman. We're fixing to move so that possum will be the neighbors problem so i don't exactly need him dead but away from my coop.
I had a Possum about a week ago get into my coop and kill one of my Cochin hens. I am terrified of Possums. I cry when I see them, I'd prefer not trapping for this reason. You'd think after the night he had stuck in my coop he wouldn't come back. We'll he's been back multiple times trying to dig...
