I thibk you've put him through the wash on the wrong setting chan, you've clearly shrunk him! He looks about 13hh in that pic hehe!

It's so frustrating! I think they just like making extra work for us!

How are you getting on with fork now after a couple of weeks? Just wondering as I am having the same trouble as you with my minis poos on shavings bed - they like to paw at their droppings and crush them in to teeny tiny little pieces grrrr!!! I've giving up using my gloves and a bucket it just...

Perhaps he got a splinter from pushing his neck through the fence which in turn has created an abscess?

How long are their coats? A good 3-4 inches, longest in their pits and bellies, a trace clip could work I guess and I could tackle the rest with my shedding blade! Sorry to hijack your thread OP!

Oh I'm right there with you on the not rugging front, hence why mine still have their tags on - just got them for emergencies really! But I don't want to have a repeat of last year, aside from them looking ridiculous with their dread locks it was obviously uncomfortable for them as they were far...

Last year my two minis had enormous winter coats, when the spring came they just weren't shedding it fast enough so they ended up getting really really sweaty and all of their coats became totally matted and disgusting. I tried my best the keep on top of it but it just got out of control. It...

I started taking capsules of turmeric for myself about 3 weeks ago. They are 500mg, somedays I will take two and somedays I will take 3 - they are huge capsules and I'm not good at swallowing pills at the best of times so it just depends what I feel I can manage! I haven't taken any now for...

I try to sing but I can never remember any songs at the crucial moment!!!

If you have any quarries near you you should be able to buy quarry waste off them which usually consists of a variety of large and small gravel (depend what kind of quarry it is). It's usually very cheap, we got ours from our local place for £11 per tonne plus a £50 delivery charge - we live...

Yes I see what you mean about the blue cheese mold! Hmmm...maybe I should put my brave pants on and see if they will swap it for me! Thanks guys :)

I've had a quick look at mouldy hay images and old forum posts on google and most talk about black patches in the bale or on the outside, or dampness. I have neither of these in my bales it's just the smell and the dust... But I have tried 3 different people now and from all of them I have had...

Some of my bales of hay have a very musty fusty smell to them, sometimes with a covering of blueish dust (or are these spores?) if you look very closely. Not all the fusty smelling bales have the dust on them, and the rest of my bales smell lovely like hay should. I have got a new load of hay...
