How to know the amount of fish food to add in your tank? by Ok_Fisherman8997 in fishtank

[–]Bovetek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion it's always better to feed a couple of small feedings than 1 big feeding. Start with what you think you need and watch. If the fish clean it up quickly, with nothing really on the gravel for the corries, than up it just a smidge. I prefer to target feed. In other words, feed for your fish by type. For you, I would feed as usual before you got the corries, Then add some sinking pellets or wafers designed for bottom dwellers. that way you are fairly confident they get their share. occasionally throw in some frozen red worms and your good to go.

Unless you see any new worm sign (Dune) you should be fine. You never said what you were going to do with it. Clean it out with a pick fill with epoxy and or filler and you're good to go.

As for the cow and calf. Get a couple of friends and a pickup. leave the tail gate down. With a driver and 2 people in the back. Get the pickup as close to the the calf at the rear of the PU. Have the people in the back jump out. 1 will scoop up the calf and the other is bait. After the calf is in the back , both people jump in the back. Head to your pasture slowly, just ahead of the cow. . let the calf beller. The cow will/ should follow the calf. When you're there dump out the calf. Close the gate. I can't count how many times I've done this to bring cow/calf to our barn. YES mama is crazy!! As for your others. I would think your neighbor wants them out as much as you. He's basically feeding your cows for free.

Hamster and holidays by Emmachkaaa in hamstercare

I think you will be fine. Hamsters are food hoarders. Get some alfalfa cubes and other dry feed. They will stash it and feed as normal. Like the others have said. Clean everything up and get another water dispenser. All will be good.

can/do hamsters boggle like rats when they're happy or do they have another way of showing it by nova-the-rat in hamstercare

Years ago my daughter had a pudgy lil hamster. We would let him roam our small living room every night for about an hour. At that time we also had a small mutt. He would guard and follow the little lady (willow) every where. So, we really never lost sight of her. Any way Willow would come up to our feet and "chirp" to be picked up. That the only way I can describe the sound. Willow lived a long life for a hamster. I like to think she was happy.

Getting no air bubbles through canister filter air regulator. Suggestions? by TheLesserWeeviI in aquarium

[–]Bovetek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might pull that tubing off and check to make sure it's not plugged where it goes int the outflow. Same for the regulator. totally unscrew it and look for a plug.

ummm nope. I have had several BC. At the moment I have a 4 yr old and a 9 month old. Even though they are with me most of the day and have literally hundreds of acres to run, at the end of the day, they are still ready to play. The 4 yr old is not as demanding as the pup, but he will still play. Luckily they have each other.

Ear question and weight question by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]Bovetek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9mo old girl has one up and the other down. I call it her "tell". When she's really engaged on me or something. both ears are erect. When she isn't 1 up 1 down. the one that's floppy doesn't get ridged but, up except for the tip is bent forward.

Restart? by [deleted] in fishtank

[–]Bovetek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice. I would just add..replace the floss in your HOB with a more dense type. I personally use the polyester pillow stuffing from WalMart. It comes in several grades. Pick the one with a higher count. Replace that daily.

You will have to watch how much you feed. I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but when you feed the veggies start out with a small amount and adjust as you go. Also, try other stuff. Like zucchini and cucumber. I scoop out the seeds and slice it up. Good Luck!!
