ok I posted the levi update the other day:
http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=125339&st=0&p=1400144&fromsearch=1entry1400144
The breeder asked us if we are ready for him. He is a bit over 4 months and will be just at 5 by the time he comes home I think. Breeder is ok with keeping him there if we want to, we are figuring out if we are taking his half brother or not... weighing the money really with hay prices and scarcity.
SO, now I am getting nervous.... trying to get it all down on paper of what needs to be.
-Fence is done, gate going up this weekend.
-There is shelter.
-We have a decent amount of hay stored.. at least enough for the winter.
-I have two bags of Purina Mini Horse and Pony feed on hand.
On the previous thread it was noted yall thought he needed worming.(I am pretty sure he hasnt been wormed, breeder has had health problems and other issues affecting things so I am going to get with him this weekend and offer to do the babies for him(since it looks like TWO may be coming home with me anyways of the 3)
Now to the Questions:
-WHAT KIND of wormer would be best to start them off if they havent been wormed before?
-Water/stock tank... is taller better? Hubby wants shorter and doesnt want to use the tall one we have... shorter would be easier for us to secure to keep my dumb chickens from drowning in as much (been there done that dumb birds)
-Feed bin... I have big black rubber style bucket thing, is that ok for pellet and hay? Should I seperate them out?
WHAT else am I forgetting???? *WORRY WORRY WORRY*
