Yep, they're left out for about two hours for a whole mouse.
Pinkies (hairless baby mice for corn snakes/baby snakes) only take about a half hour or so. I used to collect them for a friend of mine in Blanch.

Ah Reggie, you're not old, you're just the right age to complain about 'kids these days'

Two pieces of advice on this milestone birthday-
1) Forget the past, you can do nothing to change it now. 2) Forget the present, we didn't get you one.

Its like the little compartments in the detergent drawer in the washing machine.. I mean as if having to seperate colours and types of clothes isnt bad enough... I have to guess where the damn detergent goes - FFS !!

I'll admit to putting some detergent and softener in EACH section, just to be sure !!

Kovu

I have never used a dishwasher in my life. Even in college I washed things by hand. Force of habit!

Did anyone else have a problem with losing a lot of tags off cattle this year. we send away for 22 tags over the winter. only 4 were got yhe year before. are they made of different plastics or what

Kovu

I've heard that from others alright Darragh. Lost two of the BVD tags over the winter, only kept three heifers :pac: Is there perhaps a slight weakness in that tag? They fell out, weren't ripped.

Tags I used in 2013 were very bad quality, mullinahone replaced about 20 free of charge, but they only do this if the cattle are still in the herd they were born in.

The quality is very poor. I Ordered a go of tags a month ago and looking around now there's a few more missing. If I order any more the department will think I'm swapping tags.
