Hmm, didn’t even think about that caveat. Yes in that case I guess handfuls are better than nothing. I would love to have a steady reliable hay supplier as much as they would love a return

Dr. Kellon/Group, I was just now emailed Pabatsa's labs from Cornell--updated in his CH. All values have decreased since getting him back on his original 3.5 mg after a vet not knowing Cushing's had

Jenna, how tall is Finnur? I "think" that my Magic (Also Icelandic) is 13.2 (although he could be 12.3, ha!) and he weighs about 600. Just to give you some sort of comparison. He was up close to

Hi... I have four miniatures, two @ 36" and two @ 32". One of the larger ones can eat grass from the time it peaks up through the snow until six foot drifts, with no problems whatsoever, but the
