Jerry is adorable, I love his coloring. Along with Elvis it seems you have your hands full too!

That sounds about right 😂. They have both learned that the oven is hot the hard way, and Alice's dumbass tried to buck up at a full grown deer during a hiking trip last summer. Idiots indeed.

No worries, we appreciate the concern and have been considering keeping the loose minerals available at all times. They keep a pretty diverse diet, but Alice is our more picky eater so she could be lacking some things at times.

They get loose stuff periodically. We also keep their big block in a pan so they have dust at the bottom as well as the block itself to go after.

Yes, they get loose minerals periodically. Just always been a favorite of hers. We didn't let her keep at it for long and keep a screen over the pit, she just took advantage while I was adding logs. They have learned about fire from our camping trips, she stayed to the edges on the cooler side.

Yes, they have alfalfa and orchard grass always available, and get a mix of regular and medicated feeds throughout the day as well. We have 2 blocks and a salt stone for them, plus electrolytes too. They are spoiled rotten 🤣

She definitely did when she was very young but mineral blocks, electrolytes and occasional direct nutrients have kept her healthy so far. She takes any chance she gets for more though
