I do all I can to save a buck! I grow vegetables for canning and freezing. I hang our clothes outside to dry when possible. I conquer my refusal to spend my money on nothing but a brand name. I love the game of using natural compounds for everything! I drive my hubby and daughter nuts over issues related to the electric and water bill. And I even learned how to do Digital Scrapbooking, instead of paper scrapbooking! Yeah... I'm a 48 year old woman who has become... my ex-mother-in-law. LOL
First - you don't want to feed Azaleas until after they finish with their blooming. After that - coffee grounds and leftover brewed coffee! ... View related article.
I would try your local auctioneers. They usually have auctions once per week with items such as what you're mentioning. It would be a lot less hassle. They take the same percentage off the winning bid as eBay and others. But the plus in this at this moment... online buyers are going to pinch their bids because of the expensive shipping costs going on. I really think you'd come out a lot further at your local auction or even Craig's List. Craig's List lets you list your items for free and directly to your local area. Your buyers are able to pick up their items, themselves.. ... View related article.
Just went through this myself a few months ago. You need the following:
1 can Kitten Replacement Formula - comes in small cans small feeding syringe - looks just like the ones they give you shots with, but with no needle Medium-sized bag of ALFALFA hay - if not, larger a bag of Rabbit food pellets - get the bag that has alfalfa and various foods that they find in the wild two tiny (1/4cup size) ceramic food bowls Small bottle of Vita-Sol liquid vitamins 1 round Salt tablet
You won't be able to find most of this at WalMart. Try PetsMart or a feed store.
Keep them inside a pet carrier with a folded towel. Keep them inside your house, away from neighborhood animals. Outside animals WILL try to get to them.
You'll only need to feed the milk for a few days until they pick up their strength again and start to get a little chubby. But fill one of the bowls with the food pellets and fill the other with water and about 3 drops of Vita-Sol. Change the water daily.
Most important - Wrap them in a towel for handling while you're feeding, to keep them from escaping and to catch the mess. And you will go through some messes with the milk! Number One goal - utmost caution when forcing milk into their mouth. You DON'T want milk coming through their noses. It will kill them. Hand-feeding them has to start with a drop at a time. Some will "get it" and begin to grab the nose of the syringe. You want to see them swallowing the milk. Another drop and another drop - gradually adding drops at a time until they finally get the hang of it and figure out what you're trying to do for them. You'll need to feed them milk twice a day.
As for their pellets and all, wild bunnies feed at night mostly. But you can feed them rinsed-off treats like a strawberry, lettuce, carrots that are shredded with a potato peeler. They'll need a piece of wood to sit on and twigs to chew on.
Wood is vital to rabbits. Their teeth never stop growing, just like cows horns. Chewing the wood keeps their teeth in check.
Clean the carrier and replace the towel every day.
Once they become too much for you to handle when trying to take them out to clean their cage - it's time for release - usually within a couple weeks! If you don't want trouble, you'll take them off and release them into a pasture or by a pond or lake. ... View related article.
If you have septic, like we do, you know that you can't use regular bleach. Try handwashing in cold water at the sink and scrubbing the stains with a bar of Ivory Soap. This works so great on my daughter's work shirts at Sonic! ... View related article.
