He's so cute! Good luck with him!

I have two young raccoons that have been away from their mother for at least a day or two, I am told. Their eyes are open, they can walk around, and they can growl and screech so one resource told me that they are at least 6-7 weeks old. They are still pretty small, though so I wouldn't think much m...

i have seen those pictures. they seem really cool, but i think if i remember correctly, they are endangered species.

krups1110

This is very scary! You are all in my prayers. Good luck on a fast recovery1

Joan, school is going very well. Next week is my last week of classes and then exams and I am home by the 14th of May, but on the 24th I leave for Cameroon for 12 weeks. Everything is hectic with finishing school and preparing to be abroad. Nieve is doing well and I am sad that I will be away from h...

That is really great! I remember when I first started researching flyers the about.com website was basically the first resource that would always come up on google. When I was on the site about a year ago, I noticed that they didn't have many good links so I requested that they add us and she happil...

yes, world exotics is a big broker, which imports a number of exotic species. they would not be a preferable choice. do your best to find a hobby breeder, but if that is not possible, the broker that seems to have the best record is Helen's Little Critters.

There are a number of breeders in Florida. Joan, the head of this group, is one. Email her and she can also let you know about other breeders in FL as well.

Kathy, that was really nice to hear. These guys truly are our little angels and it is always hard to lose our babies, but the time that we spend with them and the impact that they have on our lives and the lives of others is well worth the pain that comes with their losses.

krups1110

It is always so exciting getting a new baby! Congrats! Definitely looking forward to the pictures! We love them!

krups1110

Thanks everyone. It is really sad that there is a need for such a place, but I am happy that it does exist to help so many animals. What a wonderful trip. You will have to give them extra love from all of us . The program sounds great . I would like to know more about the little rehab guy. When you ...

Thanks guys! I am very excited for it!

It is definitely still required. In the wild, the life expectancy is much less than in captivity and many animals die of calcium deficiency ailments.

i order it offline. just search google and find the site with the lowest prices. I got mine from Bird Supply of New Hampshire and I got the 250ml one, which will last a long time because you put a few drops into much more water. http://www.birdsupplynh.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=30_35&pr...

i use calcivet like alyssa mentioned and upon looking up calciboost, they are the exact same thing. i always have two bowls of water available to nieve - one fresh, and one with the calcivet - and she drinks from both.

you usually have to upload it to a site like photobucket.com and then just copy the link next to the IMG under the pic and paste it into a post.

krups1110

i use 100% cotton balls, which she rips apart and makes a nest with.

krups1110

those dimensions sound good. as an option, too, there is always martins cages at martinscages.com i have one of his and so do many others here, too. they have ones specifically created for flyers and they are really great. prices are not bad for the great quality.

krups1110

Sounds great! Just be sure that it is thoroughly cleaned.

krups1110

what a cutie!

krups1110

Cute!

krups1110

...and a star is born! lol she looks great!

krups1110

it is always really sad to watch things like that. i cannot understand how some people have such disregard for animals. i guess a lot of people just do not care about them the way that we do.

krups1110

cute! how have you been Reesa?

krups1110

Joe, it is great news about the law and about the help that Angel Spice is continuing to give you. I hope that your health improves in the future! It is always good to hear from you do keep us updated on the two of you!

This summer I will be going to Cameroon in Africa for most likely three months. I will be volunteering at the Limbe Wildlife Centre, which specializes in the rehabilitation and care of confiscated, orphaned, and injured wildlife including chimpanzees and lowland gorillas. I am so excited. It will be...

Avoiding China is a good idea when possible to help put pressure on China to take a stand against the actions of the Sudanese government. In case anyone wasn't aware, China purchases, I believe, about 80% of Sudan's oil as well as other products. They have the influence to make the government change...

I am so sorry to hear about Rogue! It is heartbreaking when these things happen. I really hope that the necropsy will help explain what happened. Please, don't be hard on yourself, though! You did your best and you were a good HOF to her! Whatever happened, it is not your fault!

krups1110

Congrats!

krups1110

congrats!

krups1110

different hofs use different products. i, personally use calcivet for calcium. it contains both the calcium and the d3 that flyers need and no additional vitamins. the kind i get is in a liquid form and you add it to water as it says in the instructions. i always have one fresh water and one water w...

if you guys get to go to japan and russia, then i want to go on the trip to get those giant red ones from southeast asia!

And I think these are the first pictures I've actually seen of Nieve. She's such a pretty little girl! Post more pictures! Haha, now we know you have a camera. haha yeah i haven't been the best with pics. i'll try to take more and post them. thanks for the compliment. thanks for all the posts. its ...

They are really cute! They look a lot like our southerns except lighter fur and black eye make-up instead of the white eye make-up that our southerns have.

krups1110

Thanks for all the input! She does have all her toes, Judy. lol I will look out for scratching and for her head rubbing on the cage and I will also check for mites. Hopefully, the hair will just grow back, but I will keep an eye on her to make sure. At what point should I bring her to the vet?

krups1110

Thanks Deb. That is good to hear. I just can't help but be worried when new things like this show up.

krups1110

Best of luck to you Peep! We will keep an eye out for you around here and I hope all goes well with your medical procedures. Please take care.

krups1110

Peep, I am so sorry! It is so hard to lose our babies! It is heartwrenching when our pets are lost and we never know what happens to them so I can only say that I am happy that she was able to get back to you and share your comfort in her last moments.

I noticed today a small bald spot on Nieve's head. Alyssa thought that it may be molting, but the paranoid HOF that I am, I just wanted to ask here, too, to make sure that it isn't a problem. The skin is the normal color - definitely not red or scaly. It just seems weird. I was planning to watch it ...
