Re: Bamboo

It's very invasive. I had a garden job a few years back where it took over the property. We had to dig down a good 6 feet and sift out the roots (any remaining roots re-grow). Grow in pots or it will take over, we dug up to the concrete driveway and were finding roots that we couldn't remove because...

Re: Am I worrying too much?

Thanks, everyone! It did clear up after a while. She is a little piggy (though a picky one) so I have no doubt she got into something that didn't agree with her and stopped eating it after this incident.

Re: Am I worrying too much?

Am I worrying too much?

My Muscovy Duck, who is 9 weeks old, started pooping weirdly this morning. Now normally I attribute changes to food (watermelon, lettuce etc) but I'm worried because shes having a lot of liquid - pure urate poops this morning. I have attached photos. Any advice? Am I panicking too early? She's still...
