what should I be doing?
We picked them up last Saturday. The 4 of them seem quite happy and getting on very well.
Now I have been reading and am mightily confused about worming. Is it like having a dog where you worm 3 monthly or something whether they have worms or not? I got books out of the library, but they contradict each other!
I have an eglu cube. I emptied dropping tray after 3 days and hosed down. Is that ok? Do I have to scrub every time or is a quick hose down and a proper scrub once a week ok?
Friend said I should be picking them up. They are not keen! They eat from our hands and now will let us stroke them (sometimes) but picking them up is tricky. I have done it, but not well enough as they got a wing free...
