I two Betta fish, and their tank is dirty too.
In the pony drama of the day, when we let them out this morning, she sat for three hours, nonstop, licking the salt lick. We finally took it away. What's up with that?
Sorry you're sick Duchess... I'm just feeling tired and full. We went out to breakfast, had pancakes and eggs, and I think they were made of cement ;~D I haven't wanted to do anything but lay on the couch since.
She might be trying to replace salt lost sweating in her being cast drama of a couple of days ago. I have never known a horse to lick too much salt, although periodically they lick the salt and/or mineral blocks a lot more than usual.
Hopefully this bout with whatever it is will immunize me for the rest of the winter to all the people coming in and coughing all over me at work.
Jan and I rode about 3 1/2 hours. It was a great ride. The weather was just beautiful.
UUUMMMMM...pancakes sound good:)
Rocky will stand at his salt block and lick it like that, then drink gallons of water, then pees gallons then back to the salt block. I think it just becomes habit. I've always thought Rocky was obsessive complusive:) I take his away sometimes when his pen really starts to smell from peeing so much from drinking so much from licking salt so much:)
