A couple of nights ago, Tina and I were talkingand she was telling me how Apollo's molt is particularly bad this year.It's one of the worst she's ever seen. She was wondering about a way tospeed it up because she was saying clumps of hair are coming out of himin droves. I didn't have an answer for her, but would be mostinterested if someone does.
You have to wonder if this is the rabbits' way of telling us that it'sgoing to be a difficult winter. The molting of many rabbits this yearseemed to have started early and is going on and on and on.
I looked it up in The Farmer's Almanac and they're saying thatthis Winter is going to be extremely difficult. Very snowy -more so than last year's - and bitter cold.
If you've seen other animals preparing, would love to know about it. Iknow our rabbits are telling us and the squirrels are extremely busy.
Buck would be going through his routine check that all cages wereproperly sealed tight for drafts, inclimate weather, etc. He'd makesure he'd have black oil sunflower seeds in case a frost came andcontinued for a couple of days. He'd have a little extra hay and wouldstock up on the Woody Pet - just in case.
Those that use wood stove pellets, I'd advise you to go out and buy asmany bags as you can store. Because of oil prices, many folks haveconverted their homes to wood stoves and now wood stove pellets areflying off the shelves.
