I have a styrofoam Genesis 1588 and have been running it almost non stop for 18 months now. I use it as a hatcher because my big Sportsman can hold so many eggs but it holds the temps great and hatches with perfection. Not so easy to clean but I hate to clean about anything.
I am also hatching out of a Lil Giant styrofoam bator that belongs to a friend. It is a still air and Chickychickybaby helped me with it. She and her DH hatch with them and offered plenty of advice. So now I have Guinea eggs set in it. I can't get my friend to take it back now that I have hatched successfully in it. It really isn't as hard as all that but I prefer the forced air.
DD has a slight cold right now. Maybe allergies. She won't eat as much honey as me and I told her that may help. She prefers chocolate. So when Mary's bees start producing chocolate honey I might get her to consume more for allergy problems. However, it could just be a slight cold.
Kinda feel bad. Haven't fed the bat in 24 hours but it's kind of important for me to not handle it at the moment. I might sneeze and get bat formula in my face or something! Ahg! Yeah my husband picked the bat off the ground with his bare hands. *slaps forehead* thankfully he wasn't bit or scratched or slobbered. It actually fell out our neighbors roof. He needs an exterminator! I would like to get vaccinated and my husband to for future findings. We always have baby creatures here.
I've been bit before by a sick cat. The cat was euthanized and the owner elected to give us the remains and we had to send the cats head to DHEC because it wasn't vaccinated. Felt so bad. This was years ago when I first started my job. Cat had leukemia and aids come to find out (obviously not rabid). I'm still alive I think. *sneezes in bed*
I bet your little bat is adorable! I have always liked bats but I do not think I would help raise one. I wasn't much for helping with the chimney sweeps people would bring in to the clinic for us to raise. I can do Robins and Mockingbirds though without much problem.
Definitely get your rabies vax! If you work in a clinic it is a must. We did not have an option. It was a requirement because of all the creatures brought in. My vet was so great with animals (horrid with people, that is why I was there!
) that rescues were always sent to her. That woman can handle animals with such ease and grace. A real gift.
Last time my titer was checked I still had a high number and it has been 15 years. I meant to have one checked on my DD since I was feeding her when I had them. I know I spout off not liking human medicine very much but rabies is not something to joke around with.
I hope you get better quickly.
Being sick in the summer can be such a pain!
