Twelve. Coming along nicely. I think she said another one had hatched today. She's paying them more attention than she does me.

That's some rearing task.

what size tank you getting them

Not sure yet. Once they've all hatched and started getting a bit of size on them, I'll have a look around for something suitable. Once they're out of the tub, (she's already moved them into a slightly bigger one), we have another of the gerbil tanks that we can use as a temporary measure until we can gauge what they'll need/want eventually.

...do rumours manage to spread so damned quickly? Just had our Gert come down to the workshop to say that two ladies have been to ask if we'll take a rabbit in as they've been told we won't turn animals away. Honestly, you can't fart these days without someone knowing. I'd really love to know how word gets round like it does. I'm allergic to the buggers too, so I can see me having the sniffles, wheezes and itching whilst I build up a partial immunity for the next few months.

On a plus note though, released a Magpie the other day which took straight to the trees, and it didn't get attacked by the other ones which nest slightly further up, so that should be back on form within a week or two once it's built itself back up to full strength nicely. T'was a tad scrawny, but in good enough health in general.

Now theres a post from a man who despite all the bluff and bluster, just wants to be loved and respected. Bless I would suspect that you want people to know about your kind deeds and that is why the "rumours " spread.

I think it's those things that spend their life stuck to the glass, like a big sucker.

Animals ( especially Strays) are a real pain in the ass.

I found a dog looning around on a busy road, late one Friday night, on my way home from walking with Harley ( my GSD)

Managed to catch it and get a makeshift lead on it, and get it home.

Phoned the local RSPCA who told me they couldn't take it as their inspectors dont have the facility in their vans to take medium sized dogs ( fecking useless gits) they told me to take it to the police staion, which I did.

The local police refused to take it on the grounds that they do not have the facilities to care for it.

So the next two hours were spent phoning everyone I could find in the yellow pages that proffessed to be animal santuries, none of them would accept the dog at 10:30 on a friday night.
When I phoned the RSPCA back the idiotic woman on the phone actally told me to take it back to the police station and tie it to a post outside

Eventually I took it to Ashford Police station which is 100 mile round trip ( 4 gallons in a surf) so my good deed cost me 4 hours of my time and £20 in derv. brilliant.

So much for RSPCA

[POPEYE]

Have to aggree with you there Bob, on the two occaisions i've had to call the RSPCA they've been fecking useless, resulting in the 80 mile round trip a fay cry from the all careing feckers rolf harris used to hum and ha about on telly,


Whats a Pleco Rich?? sort of fish or snail? (or a tool for cleaning the glass)

Police station is the worst place to take them. They just end up at any of the local places, be it good or bad.
