My male peed out the cage too. I had to make aluminum foil deflectors around the cage. Lol

Diatomaceous Earth to Get Rid of Parasites
No. Research it. DE kills bugs that have an exoskeleton! It cuts them and they die. DE does nothing internally. DE works when it is dry. It is not a wormer.
Diatomaceous Earth to Get Rid of Parasites
Argh, here we go again. DE kills things with an exoskeleton. It must be dry to work. It is dangerous if inhaled. Be careful with it. Eating it dose nothing.

Dressing as the opposite sex for Halloween is seen as offensive, especially to those of the trans community. It is an out of date costume just like dressing up as a hobo or an Indian. Please consider if your costume might be offensive to others. I know some...
Use Joy for Fleas
Ive used original Dawn to kill fleas on my dog and cat. The important thing to do first before you put them in the water, is to lather up a ring of dish soap around their neck. Once you start to bathe them the fleas will try to go up around the face. You don...
