    these are ours when chicks, the brown ones are shavers
  5. the cycle of violence is getting worse in some areas of society
  6. for me its a consequence thing. i have 3 kiddies, 8, 5 & 2. We smack when we need to which isn't often at all. Its probably 6 months since our eldest has had one because we have other wyas to punish him for bad behaviour. He has the "ladder of certain doom" at the moment but it needs to change every month or so to keep him interested. In the past we have done things like making him clean the toilet or standing on the toilet for 15 mins. They all work but loose their effectiveness after a short time. What i have found is that we have had to correct our children with a smack more between the ages of 3 & 5 than any other years as they simply don't recognise other punishments. Try telling a 3 year old to go to time out or clean the toilet, their only real consequence they remember & motivates them to behave nicely is a hot bottom. I had a thought the oter day after watching the parenting show on TV, a small booklet with 25 different ways to punish without smacking or similar would give parents who can't think of other ways to correct their kids would be very helpful IMO.

  14. the only way i could get rid of mine is by netting it out, good luck.
  15. i'll chuck those pics on the cichlid forum & fishkeepers forums to see if anyone has experience with them & post back the results when i hear something.
  16. a wild guess from the pics i am 50% sure that 50% of it is a red zebra, what the other 50% is i am 100% unsure.
  17. may it grow wings & fly away 8) if it does i think it will be good for our hobby.
  18. the OB's i have seen & owned were coloured in a blotch pattern rather than consistant lines like that, maybe its a new varient commonly known as a rusty zebra.
  19. it's hard to tell, there are always exceptions to every rule. venting only true way to be right. one of my females. my male is almost identical just larger & a little more black but i was sure this was a male until she held
  20. i saw an albatross on a DOCumentary (excuse the pun ) on TV that was on land like that. A vet & a DOC person took care of it for a week & then it died, i hope this won't be the case in this situation.
  21. is that all? 56 seconds for me then my mates dad smoked one in 43 seconds just to prove i was a boy!
