    Scratching

    Is she about to molt? Mine scratch right before they're about to start blowing their coats.

    Baby Flemish Giant issues: UPDATE

    He gets up there without slipping, lies down, gives me that indignant stare if I barge in and interrupt him ("Hey, man! Occupied! Do you mind?!") We go to the vet on Thursday, and I wasn't kidding about asking if it'd be possible to train him to pee and poop in the toilet. If he's going to be up...

    Baby Flemish Giant issues: UPDATE

    You and me both. There's been a great deal of improvement, no two ways about that. With as much time as he spends hanging out on the john, I'm kind of wondering if I could get him to do his business in there, even if flushing is out of the question...

    He is. My point was less about the pellets and more about the lack of hay, just grass from the yard.

    Baby Flemish Giant issues

    I took home a baby Flemish giant in late October, later found out he was weaned too early (5 weeks) and the mother had had a pretty horrible diet ("alfalfa pellets and grass.") A trip to the vet revealed ear mites and coccidia, both of which he's been treated for. There's some clear nasal...
