    If no one else snaps your arm off, I'd love to give it a new home! It'll go great as an extention to 'Weasel Heights'!

    There's a fella near me (on the levels) who has a hob. My 2 girls are with him at the moment I can ask him if he's willing to let your girls go for a visit? He won't sell or lend but I don't blame him for that. If any good, let me know and I'll ask him tomorrow.

    I *think* it is to do with dilution.... Silver is dilute poley.... Merle is dilute black..... Albino is the absence of pigmetation not the dilution of it... Er... Bit complicated to recall all this after a few whiskeys lol! Off to find my notes.... be back in a while

    Sounds similar to when people breed merle to merle in dogs (especially collies) produces what is known as a lethal white. Mainly white with odd bits of colour, blind or deaf or with skeletal deformities. The one litter I knew of had all 3 poor lil things AFAIK it's caused by the double recessive in the geneology. Merle is a recessive gene and I am guessing the same goes for silvers in ferts? The recessive can also carry all the genetic deformities, not normally expressed in breeding of different colours as it is just that, recessive. It cannot be expressed while there is a dominant gene

    Whatever the cause,she is in the best place. If her litter mates are fine, I would put my money on a vax reaction. Fingers crossed for your lil pup.

    If they used the live or attenuated vaccine she may be giving a false positive as such, and reacting to the vaccine is making her feel like shite... Have any of her litter mates come own with it do you know? A report by Wendy C. Brooks, DVM, DipABVP The Fecal Parvo ELISA Test The ELISA test has become the most common test for parvovirus in puppies. ELISA stands for Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay. This sounds complicated and high tech but is actually the same type of technology used in home pregnancy test kits. The parvo ELISA test is also a kit and is performed in the vet’s offic

    Yay! As a prize when they are ready would you send me a couple of conkers from it? (I'll pay postage obviously) I don't have any red ones near me so I would like to plant some

    Year before last my Anglo Nubian nanny goat got a really bad case of mastitis and nearly died. I decided once I had got the weight back on her I would send her for the freezer... It took a year to get her a decent weight (she was very poorly) and I had become very fond of her in that time. Got sick of hearing people say not to keep a goat with only one tit, not worth the feeding etc etc (google Poland syndrome, i have this so you will see why I took offence lol!) Any hoo, bless her cotton socks, not seen a billy in over 2 years, no kids, but decided with her one remaining tit to come into

    Poor wee mites Can we do a fundraiser on here to raise some of the cash for them? I'll happily donate but wouldn't have the first clue as to how to organise it?

    What sort of file is the pic saved as? On my computer/photobucket I can only get jpegs to show up. right click on your pic (on your computer, not in photobucket) and it will tell you what sort of image it is

    Have you got any rabbits or goats of anything? If so, scythe em down and let them dry, they make top class feed for winter. I cut and dry em every year, been doing it this afternoon in fact If not scythe em down anyway and let them compost where they fall. The birds will love scratching them over.

    Well she kept chucking 3 ofem out the nest. I kept putting them back but I guess nature knows best as the last time she chucked em out she nipped their necks Hey ho, though 7 healthy kits and the ferrets have had a treat already. Still waiting on me other doe, she's huuuuge!
  20. Donna Wildwood
    I have some permissions I am more than willing to share, but briar patches aplenty.... Be ok for ferreting but I think it would be too frustrating for a young dog. I might get the briars away by this coming season, but if not they will be gone for the next

    Will do, mate will do!

    sweet and tender mate but I never hang em, nor wildies I don't like that taste myself. But I don't have to choose, I keep the rabbits, chooks, goats and sheep to eat. Variety is the spice of life they say Also I don't know if it makes a difference, but my rabbits are kept in colonies not shut in hutches and i pick them fresh wild greens twice a day. Hay ad lib and some pellets. Though even if they didn't provide me with food, they are still worth it to convert waste veg and weeds into top notch fertiliser!

    YAY!!!! One of my does has just had her 1st litter! 10 kittens and they are huge! Me other doe is building her nest as I type so fingers crossed I shall have some more in the morning. Going to keep a doe from each litter if possible but we shall see when the time comes, Ido the boys first so don't have to pick any out straight away. I'll give her a day or 2 then get some pics up :D:D:D

    Yup shetties would get too fat on clover and have a hard time getting in lamb. Mine eat the roughest stuff they can find and will turn their noses up at lush pasture in favour of weeds and scrub. But you could always get some to help clear the ground (mine eat sedge grass and the spikey stuff you get where land has flooded) Eat them and then get some beltex or summat to really go for the weights when the ground has come good. I personally think you can't beat Shetland lamb/mutton for taste BUT it can take 18 months for them to get there. That suits me as I get ground cleared, a crop or 2 of
