I feel the same way. My kids have had pet mice, gerbils, hamsters, Guinea pigs and rats, they are smart and friendly. When John was in college his professor...
I am very suspicious of store bought eggs labeled vegetarian. How do you teach a chicken to be a vegetarian?? Where do they find these chickens? From:...
True about the mice coming into the house. We had gazillions of them last spring. I have two cats but they are OLD and apparently past it. My husband held...

Perhaps they mean that the eggs are not fertile. I worked for a Hindu man at one time, and he would eat eggs, but he had to check them or be assured that they...
Easy keep 'em under abnormal conditions i.e. no access to outside to scratch around and find insects or other critters. Show them endless soy promoting...
Score one for the chickens! Bravo. One of my tiny bantam roos went nuts over one that was already dead, as did a broody hen on a different occasion. It...

Eggs labeled "vegetarian" is a new one on me. It could either mean that the eggs are intended to be purchased BY vegetarians maybe.....or that they keep the...
Catherine, I don't know if you know this or not but you should be exceedly happy that your cats won't eat the mice. If you put out a poison for the mice,...
Ah......not being fertile might also be a reason for the "vegetarian" on the carton. Pigs will also eat snakes....in fact they will kill any snake they can...

You're right Denny. Agri-biz does some gross things. I saw a documentary several years ago about mad cow disease. In England the farmers were feeding cattle...
... you ... Would think they'd have to be kept in a very sterile environment where they couldn't eat any insects! Just doesn't seem right to me. Poultry are...
I think the big deal about vegetarian hens is that they aren't fed slaughterhouse waste, which is how mad cow disease got started. Could you get it from...
Nancy, thank you. I thought that might be an issue, but I was just DESPERATE--one ran over my head while I was sleeping. Really, it did. I just prayed that...

If the wound did not look infected, I think I would have left it alone. Since you opened it up, it could get infected so I would surely either give her an ...
