🤣 your more ambitious than I am!!

Those carts are better for flat ground. It’s too dangerous pushing a couple hundred pounds up hills like we have.

I actually use my gator. I haven’t used the dump bed. My husband built a ramp with a platform I can back the gator up against and they walk into the bed. They like going for rides. We take them down to the shallow part of our spring fed creek on hot days. I also have a gorilla cart. Mine is...

I do this all the time. I find putting a hibiscus flower or their favorite treat in the water dish works best because they’re eager to eat it.

I’ve never left it on them overnight but I have left it on them while they play outside. It usually hardens & a good amount falls off. I rinse them then put them in their pools.

Mine sure love to play in the mud. They fling it all over themselves, they’ve been doing this for several years so it can’t hurt. We have heavy clay deposits and I put it on my bug bites and it helps to soothe the skin.

I don’t ever buy any food products for my family or my pets from flea markets, good info though. All of this comes at the right time of year as a reminder to be as self sufficient as possible. I expand my garden every year and this year it’ll be even bigger than previously planned.

That’s why I buy the bagged stuff, I read the label and contact them to make sure it wasn’t sprayed. There also shouldn’t be any dangerous items in it. Some brands say hand sifted right on the bag. I understand things can be overlooked.

I don’t know what’s been sprayed on that stuff is the reason I don’t buy it. I still soak their hay for extra hydration and I found one brand that has hardly any stems. I don’t use much hay as it is I also have potted grass & just planted more.

It was oxbow hay sold by Amazon.

Water contamination is a scary thought. We just watched Erin Brockovich again recently. I think I’ll look into water testing. We have a spring on our property that feeds our pond. It has a lot of wild turtles living in it. We also have a huge creek that we swim in. I really don’t need to buy...

I’ll let y’all know if I get a response.

Dangerous items, sharp objects and dead snakes, crazy! I ordered it from Amazon in a pinch to get some organic stuff quickly, they really don’t care. I did email the company, no response as of yet. This is the first time I’ve found anything in the hay but maybe I haven’t looked as closely as I...

This probably won’t help you much but I have a ranch in deep, East Texas. I have lots of wild box turtles living on my property. We have wild raspberries & blackberries that grow. I see them eating the berries more than anything else we have growing. They set up camp nearby to eat them. I found...

We just got 10 inches of rain so it’s very wet and was only 62 degrees, so my shellions were in their greenhouse today eating some potted grass and hay. I was taking some hay out of the bag and pulled out a bird feather then after digging more, I found what looks like a portion of rope, maybe...
