    For me hay is free, my parents have 30 acres and a large chunk of that they grow alphalpha on plus another 10 acres that they let the farmer use as payment for cutting and bailing on the 30 acres. I have always fed hay as a treat, is it safe and healthy to cut pellets out completely? I am...

    Pot Belly pig owners wanted????

    I just wondered into the pig section to ask the same question about males vs female for pets.

They are very smart but they...

    They should still be 2 weeks off but I went out to do chores this morning and discovered they both had a lot of hair pulled and were working on there nests. It's possible they where breed when I bought them but they both excepted my buck though. Either way I'm excited.

    new zealand / dutch what do you think?

    Hopefully I will get a couple nice bucks from the California/ new zealand doe that I bred to the dutch and I can breed them to the young californian/silver fox does I just bought. I will have a while to wait but they would make a nice match I think.
