    Looking for fleece covered *half* PVC tubes

    I'm looking for two half PVC tubes, and may be interested in filling the rest of the box with wood, shelves or toys if you have them also. Thanks!

    NOLA/Baton Rouge suggestions!

    A couple friends and I are heading down to New Orleans/Baton Rouge for spring break/vet student symposium. We'll have almost 3 full days before the symposium to get our tourist on. Any suggestions from those that have been before? What to do, what to eat, where to go, where NOT to go? We will...

    What do you want your vet to know?

    Here is your chance to be heard! Help me educate my fellow vet students, and send out around 30 vets that actually know a little about chinchillas! I am currently taking a pocket pet medicine class. Looking through the syllabus I realized we had no lecture on chinchillas! Of course, I brought...

    What I did on spring break

    This has been on my to-do list for a while now...took a while to get all the supplies together but it is finally done! Presenting "Grower cage 1.0"!!! It is definitely a prototype. It cost way too much to build and took way too much time to build it, but we learned a lot along the way and...

    Elvis is in the building, and little Sasquatch

    When I came home for break one of our males surprised me with his new hairdo. It's extremely noticeable when you hold him upside down, as all his rolls get pulled down by gravity, but you can also notice the big ole bump on his head when he's sitting. First two pics are of Renoir, he is the...

    Vacation suggestions for Oregon and Washington?

    Everyone was super helpful giving me ideas for my vacation to CA. I had everything planned out, tickets bought, car rented and now our plans are changing. The main goal was to see my grandfather, which is especially important now that he was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer (metastasis in...

    The quints are 6 months old! (+ others)

    These are the infamous quints from MCBA Natl's. All 5 are thriving. At 6 months, 4 of the 5 are over 600 grams. The female is the biggest at 735 at 6 months! She's a monster, and I almost couldn't tell her from her mom! I am ridiculously excited to show these guys at natl's, they will be exactly...

    Need CA Vacation suggestions!

    Wahoo I'm going to Cali!!! :dance3: I was born there but left when I was around 3, so it'll be just about 20 years since I've been there! We are flying into Oakland, visiting around San Jose (I was born in Los Gatos), then LA, then San Diego. Right now the number of days in each location is...

    My Boys

    Gotta do a little bragging here. I am thrilled to be producing some nice pink whites - though it would be a smidge nicer if some were females! ;) This is my Champion White Male from last years nationals and his oldest offspring, who will also be staying here. He's too pretty to give up! He was...

    Have a laugh!

    I just had to share this with everyone - I'm always up for a good laugh and this is keeping me very entertained between samples at work! http://www.cheatingtranslators.com/bad-translator I typed in "I need to pee" and after 50 translations got "Diabetes" "No responsibility" --> "Government"...

    My dog screams...

    Finally got this off my phone to share. It's too funny not to pass it around. This is Lela, my border collie and #1 in my heart. She was my first personal dog. She never made a PEEP until my mom taught her how to "talk" - now she won't shut up! When she is frustrated, or happy, or sad, or...

    My Cresties!

    I've been wanting these buggers for years. I bought an amazing tank a year ago in preparation. They sounded like the perfect reptile for me to wet my toes with (absolutely not allowed to have a snake if I want to ever come home, or have one of my best friends come over my place), plus they're...

    Dealing with a terminally ill rabbit

    I'm hoping someone out there has had a similar experience, so I don't feel so alone in this. Friday my rabbit (7 yrs old) was diagnosed with cancer, likely osteosarcoma. She has a tumor off her right tibia about the size of a garlic clove. From what the vet and I have read, osteosarcomas aren't...

    Purina Reward Program

    Not sure how many people are aware of this but thought I would toss it out there for those of us that use PRCS or are thinking of using it. I've only just signed up for it but it seems like you get $2 at least every quarter - hey every little bit helps! Also, if you "make the switch" and bring...

    What a way to start the year...

    QUINTUPLETS!!! :banghead: We've never had more than trips, and do we get to ease into multiples with quads? NO, we get outright quints!!! The mom is our lovely JAGS female Jelo, and dad is a male bred by us, Renoir. He is desperately trying to outdo his dad in production - I think he's pretty...

    Rodent problems

    There is a MOUSE IN MY HOUSE!!! I love mice and all (okay...maybe not love) but not when they are loose! What a peachy thing to wake up to. The little bugger (I've been calling it worse names) has been taunting me to add salt to my wounds. Boy am I glad I got a real bed so I'm not sleeping on...

    "Not sold with pedigree"

    How many of you guys, if you're willing to say, sell pet quality animals without a pedigree (so that, hopefully, they won't be bred). I've always given out pedigrees, I pass them out like wildfire, just cause I think it's nice for them to have something tangible about their chins. It also sets...

    Ear Tags

    Okay, getting ready for my first order of ear tags. Everyone gets the 1005-1 ear tags right? Now as for the stamping vs. laser etching what does everyone do? It says the the stamping they can only do 3 consecutive numbers, but what do you guys do if you have a 4-digit ranch brand? The laser...

    My Rising Stars!

    We've had a really big year last year - it started out awful but we switched feed and it's going extremely well now! I haven't had this many nice youngins ever, and while it's a bit crowded, I wouldn't have it any other way! These guys will be going with me to the NC show and then to MCBA...
