Entry 2 -
my mini Zebu, Lolly.
She is 10 months old, and she loves food, and annoying me. But she's so sweet and cute that I don't really mind.
If I don't give her attention when she walks up to me, she will stand there and start chewing on my clothes.
This is probably some kind of behavior I...

If you feel like you need to finish the hatch for them here's what you need (in case you don't already know):
-Tweezers
-Syringe with water (in case of dried/stuck membrane)
-small cuticle scissors (I ONLY use these if the tweezers won't break a...
That was the first time I had ever dipped them on July 5. I did it in lukewarm/room temp water, and I only dipped them so I knew all their feathers got covered. Some had a lot more on their feathers than others.
Before that I dusted them twice, just because it was all I could do at the time...
