LOTS of new pets!

i got new pets at an auction! 3 cockateils (one is a baby, so its neck is bald LOL), a goat (pygmy baby goat named black jack), a hedge hog (see 'hedge hog food' thread), some peacocks, pheasents, chickens, and my favorite, a donkey!

actually its not MY donkey. my dads friend got him, but doesnt have a barn, so it has to stay at my house for the winter. his head is up to my shoulder. i groom him and walk him and everything. his name is jack. he looks just like the donkey on shrek. hes soooo nice and LOVES to be brushed. he isnt broke though. the previous owner neglected his hooves VERY BADLY. they havent been clipped probably for a few years. they are about double the length they should be and they are starting to curl. the farrier is coming this week. its so sad anyone could neglect this little guy so badly.

pictures coming soon!

Wait, you have a cockatiel chick??? Has this chick been weaned yet? If not, you better hurry to the avian vet and DEMAND they show you how to handfeed. *sighs* I never liked auctions

ya you have to feed the baby special formula

yes, the baby is old enough to be weaned. it has most of its feathers, just fur on its head and bald on its neck. lol... it is almost the same size as a full grown cockatiel too. we save animals from auctions and give them new homes.
