The little Lavender Orp that I found weak & laying on it's back last night is still alive this morning, I guess force feeding it some probiotics helped! Going to the store some time today to get electrolytes.

Great news! I have one splash that I'm keeping a close eye on as she's pasted up twice.

Sigh... Was at the feed store today and found a very ill OEGB that was covered in mites! Of course I couldn't leave her there to die, so I brought her home.

NPR had that on last year!

Huge containers of clothes heading off to 3rd wold countries. That would be amazing!

did you see the UCD paper I posted last week about mites? In California they are becoming resistant to pyrethrum and permectrin.

Time to break out the Seven dust!

Anyone near Oakland have a 5'-ish length of chicken wire or hardware cloth I could buy? I need to make a top for the brooder this weekend and I *really* don't want to buy a $70 roll of chicken wire at Home Depot. I'm open to other ideas and advice, too.

another option is to call up a few stucco companies nearby. they often have "mistake" rolls where the machine doesn't connect the wire correctly in small sections. I usually get 150' roll for $30-35. It has sections that need to be cut out but I bet I still get 135' of perfect chicken wire.

Lalo sprayed her with something before I took her, but I'll use Sevin if I see more crawling on her. She's really pale, very thin (310 grams), a little hypothermic and probably dehydrated. Going to get her warm and tube some fluids. Will also take a look at what vitamins her that might do her some good.

Another good idea! Thanks.
