He's getting a red fox after all, a glacier. I think he'll be happier with that even though wasn't his first choice since he has had a red before he will be better prepared for that. glad to hear that. I too think he will be better off with a red fox family fox. actually, donnie is a glazer fox (wh...

thank you Lara and Mary for the info. I usually put sweet potatoes in their food, but, the last couple batches I didn't, cause I forgot to get them :roll: however, I did put rice in her food, put some veggies also. she wouldn't eat it. but, finally she did. on the egg, I give her raw eggs once in aw...

I took Lucy (my beagle) to the vet a few days ago... reason was, Lucy looked like she was constipated. the vet (new vet) said Lucy was not getting enough carbs. her colon was filled with air. vet told me to put veggies, fruits in her diet. I have been feeding her cooked chicken breasts for a long ti...

welcome to sybils message board.

it has been so long since I raised emus. I think it is OK now. is he kept outside or inside right now?
I have a book on emus I will see if I can find more info.

aliiicattt welcome to syibls den. I assume the raccoon is from the wild? most states require a bill of sale to get a permit. that is going to be the hard part. check out the legalities in your state for keeping a raccoon. https://sybilsden.com/bb/viewforum.php?f=71 if you have a raccoon from the wil...

How old did you, if you did, start putting a harness on your coonies? Also, when did you start litterbox training? collars and harnesses are hard to keep on a raccoon. they have busy little hands. not sure if there is a harness that would work. I personally never used a harness on mine. are you pla...

Mary, I just watched a couple of his videos. sorry, but my opinion is NO, he don't know how to handle a fox. I know foxes mark. when mine were in the house (not 24/7) anytime I caught Daryl marking, I would yell, NO. he stopped before he even started. I never got bit by any of my foxes. They never s...

to be honest, I never noticed any baby teeth falling out. they always seemed the same.

I cannot say about other swaps at this time. Haven't been to the auction for some time. Really, there hasn't been a reason for us to go to either. I won't be going anywhere for awhile due to some physical issues. You can visit if you want but be prepared to be bored. I understand. not even sure if ...

Won't be making it there this year. not at all this year? there is one in September too. don't like the auctions too much. have you ever gone to the auction? Not sure I am going in may either. icon-sad my car is going to cost me 1200.00 to get it fixed. hard to scrape that kind of money up. also no...

keep us updated.

I agree, the fox valley is suppose to be a good formula. I hear a lot of good about it. (I forgot about that one )

I checked his whole body for injuries. I didn't find anything. He sleeps on a heating pad in bed. I have a California king and make him a blanket barrier. I dont sleep much so, I'm always up at night. Sometimes I dont sleep. I did some research and read they are intolerant of salt, which every anim...

I think it does. But I was basing on not finding any "sore" spots, which wouldn't expose a lot of injuries/disease and her attitude which also doesn't necessarily show lack of pain. I think with the warmer weather coming she's also hunting for new sleeping places, she would like my bed if...

sorry to hear the issue you had with your raccoon icon-sad but, now sounds like he is improving. however, I am a little confused and concerned about his swollen leg. at least it is better now. have you check his leg good for any type of cuts, maybe sprains. maybe he twisted it some how? :shrug: what...
