Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic

I don't know if Mop is being serious or just taking the mickey, but for realsies: now that you've brought them inside, assuming they're somewhere warm (centrally heated) you cannot put them back outside until winter has passed. The same applies to rabbits. They adjust to the temperature, and the shock of the change could kill them.

We bought a big indoor hutch for our Guinea pigs, wasn’t expecting it to be hits this big though!

You have much style, Z-Man, much, much style.

We managed to end up with these two idiots over summer - unexpected kittens from a nearby farm.

Its really hard to get a good pic of Kit, the black boy but Bea the tabby is SOOO photogenic...

You may find https://haybox.club/ useful btw. I use it for my two rabbits. One box per month is generally enough (aside from over winter when I buy a couple extra)

Finally got it sorted! Thank you for this. I ordered 4kg a month and see how it goes.

What I did learn: The hay box delivery is literally hay in a box and has sat in the kitchen all afternoon and now my hayfever is off the scale!

Currently have an paid for but unfulfilled order from the 13th Jan.

As soon as we got home, in an incredibly bold move, she attempted to eat the contents of the bin :roll:

I'm in love with Tanka's fluffy ears!!

As we're talking dogs I feel like it's only fair to share... we put a deposit down on a puppy 2 weeks ago.

Arra ate a whole bag of flour not long after we rehomed her. She was tooting out puffs of smoke for a couple of days after that.

Our rescue dog Tanka who is officially a 'Bulldog cross' (Bulldog and some Collie we think)

She's 7 but we got her in January last year - picture from our walk in the snow yesterday

I know it's cliché - the lockdown puppy - but we've been talking about this for 2-3 years. My 'grand plan' was to get a young-ish rescue doggo, but with kids and cats that was nigh on impossible pre-lockdown, and now the demand has shot up I think we'd have more chance of winning the lottery.

Probably completely bloody mad because we've got enough going on at the minute, but I hope that the good bits outweigh the initial chaos of training and poops and god knows what.

It's the little one climbing on mum's face in this pic :luv:

Always either chasing each other round bouncing off everything, wrestling or cuddling.

They are very cute. We've been lucky, we had enough space to get the little blighters and they've really brightened up lockdown for us.

Did you resolve your haybox issue MaliA? This month's box was paid for on the 12th and normally ships within 24-48hrs but no sign yet...

If we are sharing pics of pups! Lady Giggleton, or Giggles, or Gigs, or Wiggles, or Wigs, or any combination of the above. Virtually blind, rattles when she walks due to all the tablets she is on, wakes me up at 3am to go out every night, 21 years old. Cross between a Jack Russell and a Japanese Chin (we think, she was a rescue dog) Attachment: IMG_20201127_193859.jpg Ian the Pomeranian, 5 years old, has a genetic condition that means she loses her fur every so often, so she currently looks like a scabbed rat. Stupidest dog you will ever meet and a complete prick. Attachment: IMG_20201115_193257.jpg

My December order was a bit slow but I added an extra box at the last minute, otherwise everything has been fine. Not had to contact customer support though.

The missing box turned up yesterday, a week after I had chased them. This was from 30th Dec order. Currently have an paid for but unfulfilled order form the 13th Jan.

Mine came a couple of days after I posted. Definitely slower than I'm used to, but the website has a little banner about high demand due to the covids.

My daft dog Arra cost me £300 yesterday when she staged a midnight break in to the pantry and ate as much as she possibly could, including a whole loaf of bread and at least three mince pies. Mince pies contain raisins, which are incredibly toxic to dogs and she was pretty ill so I had to take her to the emergency vet yesterday. Kidney function tests came back ok so hopefully no long lasting effects. As soon as we got home, in an incredibly bold move, she attempted to eat the contents of the bin

Onions, garlic, grapes, etc... It's a wonder they are still alive really, as they have no sense of self preservation when it comes to food.

Nope - and every suggestion Gaz makes I've decided is terrible. I'm hoping when he starts to develop more of a puppy-like face (as opposed to a little scrunched up ball ) something will come to me!
