Yep, once I start I can't quit.
 
Janice Boyle writes about flukes from snails.
Amazing!  I don't know if they are the same kind, but pond fish also get
flukes.  I got them every year in my koi pond in Houston, they get infected
from birds drinking the water.  So I don't know, but I would urge caution
about pond water with the farts too.  Hmm, my dogs prefer the pond water.
Oh my!

Actually Candy, mine also use a compass and protractor with their scientific
calculators to make sure the energy they produce is enough to span the
distance/angle required.  They know how to get down, but why waste energy on
that when we will do it for them?
 
Lorali J Barber writes about food availability
Actually, I had always thought that the 4-6 period was strange with what I
knew to be true about cats, another carnivore.  Carnivores do not
necessarily eat daily in the wild.  But I hadn't change free food at all
until Bob mentioned it.  I have since started pulling the food up at night,
hey they sleep most the time anyway.  Miss Stella was skinny and I couldn't
fatten her up and I was worried about her.  You know what?  Since I pull the
food she has gained weight!  Go figure!  I guess since it isn't there all
the time, it isn't taken for granted now.  Everyone looks fine, and didn't
loose any weight.  I have been doing it over a month now.
 
>me, ferts with arthritis
 
Nicky, the Pookster's boyfriend, has a calcified spinal injury that limits
his motor skills in his hind end.  He has limited bowel and bladder control,
some trouble walking and is very prone to bloating due to decreased bowel
function.  I have recently been doing physical therapy on him, developed by
Noni Clark, and it is working wonders.  You see, all I thought about was the
skeleten.  But Noni pointed out that the muscles get stiff from non use and
it could help.  I bend his little hing legs up to his belly and down for
about a minute a piece and then I roll him into a donut and manipulate his
spine.  When I first started, he could bend as much in the belly as a normal
ferret, well now he does.  He also doesn't bloat anymore and his gait has
improved.  He will never be normal, but he is so much better I can't believe
it.  So anyone with similar problems might want to think about pt for their
little ones.
 
Mo' Maggie- who feels special too getting to take care of her maladjusted
bunch, Nicky, Pooksters the deaf, Ollie the blind, Henry, Sampson and Miss
Maisie the biters.  Plus all the wonderful guys and gals who give me no
problems but box misses and always have kisses and laughs for me, especially
Miss Esmerelda the beautiful
