Can someone with more experience look at these results and tell me what the best course of action is? I did a 50% water change this morning and re-tested and the results were the same. I've not done a 100% water change since I started the tank, which was last September. I am planning to clean...
Found a baby snapper about 2 inches SCL in the mouth of one of my chickens last night. I don't have any water around my house, just woods. There are large drainage pipes that run through the wooded area though to prevent the gravel road from washing out in storms. The baby does not seem to have...
I was in need of some cold-tolerant cactus and Len was happy to oblige. I made the drive to Colonial Beach and not only did I end up with plenty of cactus, I also got Rose of Sharon, Mulberry, some vines, Sedum a banana tree and a bunch of other cool stuff. I learned a lot from a veteran...
Its been a while, I don't even know how long, since I've been able to be active on the forum. I've had a lot happen in the last year, some good and a lot not so good. I inadvertently became half owner of the business that I've been working at for the last several years after the very unexpected...
Picked up this guy last night to guard my poultry flock...mom is 90 pounds and dad is 150...I think we are going to have a big boy. He is 9 weeks and has to be at least 20 pounds.
I recently ended up with 4 ducklings, about a week old. I keep chickens but am new to ducks. Does anyone else have any knowledge they can pass on? I don't know what kind of ducks they are, still trying to identify them.
In my area, 30 miles west of DC, they are projecting between 30"-50" of snow this weekend. I went out today and bought a generator. It was lots of fun (sarcasm) considering I know nothing about them. Anyway, I'm going to the store tonight to stock up on greens for tortoise food plus I have lots...
Now that my Leopards have grown so much, I've decided it is time to start planning an outdoor enclosure for them. I have about 5 months before it'll be warm enough where I live for them to be outside all day. My plan is to house them outdoors during the day, and bring them in to sleep in their...
Two days ago, about 2 pm...I noticed that the webcam mounted inside my tortoise enclosure was not working. It isn't all that unusual for the internet signal to drop and the camera to go down for periods of time so I didn't think much of it. When I got home at about 730 that night, the entire...
Haven't been on the forum much lately, work has been taking up ALL of my time. In any event, I wanted to post some updated info on my Leo's. As most everyone knows, I have 2 sibling Leopards that were hatched August of last year. When I got them, they were both about 30 grams. I made some...
So I planted some wheat grass seeds in my enclosures. Well, I didn't really plant it...I just sprinkled in the areas where the substrate is moister. My smaller Leopard is now surrounded by nice tall grass that he won't eat any of and my larger one ate all the seeds and so he has no grass. Then I...
Decided to get tattoos of my two leopards yesterday. I took my tattoo artist photos of each of them. We decided to use lots of color rather than their natural colors so it would go better with the half sleeve I have on my left arm. Even though they are rainbow colored, I think they look exactly...
Has anyone else used one of these? I've resisted for a long time because I'm not normally into fitness "fads"...but, seeing as I recently embarked on a diet, I figured what the heck and bought one. I got the flex, which is the wrist band version that tracks calories and sleep, etc. So far, it is...
So I landed myself in the hospital last thursday night with cluster headaches. I got hit with them last year around the same time. Needless to say, I've been totally out of it courtesy of steroids, anti-nausea medication (which causes headaches as a side effect...go figure). Then theres the...
