    BSFL (Black Soldier Fly Larvae)

    I am also raising mealworms and am also at the darkling stage. Mine have oats and chicken feed as their substrate and I use a potato or apple for moisture. They eat everything but the skins. I haven't seen any new mealworms yet but I expect them soon. My set up is very low key- 10 gallon tank...

    Making your own feed...

    I want to raise broilers and formulate my own feed to do so. I'd like to do it without soy or corn (haha, right?). I am looking at Black Soldier Fly Larvae and alternative grains like amaranth and sorghum. I'm going to be doing in in Hawaii so other possible feedstuffs would be coconut, papaya...

    Self-treating 7yo dog with stomach ulcer is getting worse

    I agree with everyone so far. Change vets if you're unhappy with the care so far and make sure to bring your records so that they don't repeat anything. It could be lots of different issues. I'd also stop the supplements you're using until you know what the issue is and just stick to the pepcid...

    Grain Freed Dog Feed Linked To Heart Disease!

    Cats are more frequently sensitive to seafood flavors, if that helps. You could try a novel protein diet or an over the counter sensitive stomach diet in the brand you like. I also heard about https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/indoor-hunting-cat-feeder which I am dying to waste money on for...

    LGDs- Whose got em? How'd you train em?

    I'm interested for future use. Any tips on where to adopt or purchase good LGD lines and how to train them? Are these dogs also your companions (indoor/outdoor) or does their job relegate them to mostly outdoor life? What about other animal guards?

    Grain Freed Dog Feed Linked To Heart Disease!

    I like this response... https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-news/fda-investigating-potential-link-between-diet-and-heart-disease-in-dogs/ It is the same information tempered with the idea to wait for more information. The FDA only lists 4-5 cases which is not a large enough sample size to...

    Are German Shepherds Aggressive...?

    @townchicks really well said! Pet insurance is a great idea. Ultimately, there may be other breeds that are a better fit if you're looking for a more happy-go lucky, first time dog.

    Cat gorging and throwing up

    Small meals are a good idea. You could leave food outside so he has more "free feed" access too if it won't attract the wrong kind of crowd to your backyard.

    more natural feed additive alternatives for health

    Sunday is rest day. Any thoughts on the whole ingredients vs the EO? I've also put fresh and dried oregano out and they seem to eat it if the veggie scraps are slim that day. I'm sure it's less concentrated.

    more natural feed additive alternatives for health

    @Molpet ACV = apple cider vinegar I was thinking non medicated as well.

    BYC Café

    The man of the house is the chef. Tonight he wasn't hungry until late and there was a lightning storm keeping us away from our meal plan of burgers and grilled veggies. He made what I call "Ohio Hodge Podge" because he's from Ohio: boiled sausage, potatoes, cauliflower, onion, peppers, green...

    Cornish over New Hampshire

    4Hs and county fairs always have chickens being shown which might help point you in the direction of a reputable breeding source. We also have poultry swaps in our area that have heritage breeds, you could look out for something similar.

    Shipping dogs

    Hey! Many airlines will ship dogs and have the requirements on their websites. Here's a relatively recent list https://www.purewow.com/travel/best-dog-friendly-airlines though it's before the whole "personal support peacock" fiasco so some things might have changed. You usually just have to...

    Ivet dog food is it a good food or no

    Also, if your vet put your pet on a diet for weight loss and not another kind of issue like diabetes, renal disease or bladder health, there are plenty of fishies in the sea that are lower calorie. I'd start with getting your vet to give you an estimate of your pet's ideal weight, look and see...

    Ivet dog food is it a good food or no

    No, they are omnivores. They have a range of nutrient needs that cannot be met from meat alone. Chicken can cause allergies but it doesn't always. That said, the company website doesn't say where they are sourcing their ingredients or what their quality control is like. They also only use...

    Apartment dogs

    I live with 3 border collies and if they didn't have a yard and do agility 3 times weekly they'd be climbing the walls. Rat terriers and jack russel terriers have similar energy levels. Super smart and trainable but nuts if you can't spend the time to give them a job or a sport. People that...

    New puppy new training help

    Any "tricks" a dog learns helps make him more responsive to his owner and gain confidence. If you teach a dog to give him your paw, he will likely feel comfortable letting you handle his paws if he needs his nails trimmed or if he has an injury for you to address. I second (or third or forth)...
