    Gift suggestions needed for mom to be

    Sooo many awesome ideas! I started to do the multi quote thing but that'd be too long of a post lol. Thanks so much everyone! I love Burt's Bees products. Yes she will be nursing so I will definately add something related to that. I never thought of the spa idea, that's a great one to look...

    Gift suggestions needed for mom to be

    A college friend of mine who lives in AZ (i live in PA) is expecting her first child at the end of August, a boy. I'm putting together a 'baby shower' gift pack to send out to her & I would like to include some items for herself. Usually people just buy for the baby & that's easy to pick...

    anyone purchase hay online recently?

    Since you mentioned it there are a couple times that Flea would do that when grabbing a strand of hay. It would just depend how much & the way I stuffed the hay through the holder. I figured. When I saw the photos you posted and other positive comments on Oxbow hay all I can think of is the...

    anyone purchase hay online recently?

    I have a bag of Oxbow's Botanical or Orchard Grass Hay at home. It's alright. But for me I don't like the smaller pieces and they seem to have more dust. It sits in the cage longer than other hay's I've gotten. But it does get eaten for the most part. I wonder if there is a difference in...

    anyone purchase hay online recently?

    I've ordered from Kleenmama's 3x. The first 2 times the hay was excellent. The last time it wasn't so great. A lot of waste. I think at that time due to weather a lot of places were having less than great hay. APD shipping killed me for the small amount I would get plus I no longer use their...

    anyone purchase hay online recently?

    Soon I'll be needing to buy hay. I've purchased from Kleenemama's & APD in the past. Has anyone recently purchased hay? I'd like to know how the quality was.

    Keeping the room cool

    I know when I run a ceiling fan or rotating fan for the purpose of getting the air to circulate the temp drops a couple degrees. Even more so with the a/c running also. But I agree facing just a fan at the chins cage directly won't do the animal much good.

    Somewhat diarrhea

    You can also get a pitcher if you don't want something on the faucet. I don't know about Brita but the Pur pitchers will filter for giardia.

    Broken Tooth

    My chinchilla had a broken tooth a while back. I can't remember if it was the the top or bottom. But one of the two were broken in the front to the halfway point. I made her an apt. She was eating fine and acting normal. But the other tooth had broken down to the size of the already broken...

    Undesirable apple sticks!

    A loooong time ago I ordered apple sticks from chinworld and Flea wanted nothing to do with them. This was before I discovered C-n-Q and started ordering from sellers on there. Pretty much any sticks that I've gotten that hadn't been prepared from someone on the forums would get snubbed.

    mold on apple wood?

    Ok, good to know :D Thanks for clarifying!

    mold on apple wood?

    Even when it starts on the new growth and goes to the rest of the stick? It smells fine, not moldy. I'd just never seen this on apple wood before.

    mold on apple wood?

    Ok, thanks for all the responses. I will find a new way to store wood. Currently I'm using containers with holes just poked on the top. I will toss all the apple :(

    mold on apple wood?

    They are stored in plastic containers with holes. The same way I've always stored wood. This has never happened before. Im not sure how long I've had these. A few months perhaps. It was just some fuzz on and around the buds or shoots. Now the fuzz is almost everywhere.
