    Traction/grip tape can cause bumblefoot

    Right to the point as in the title: I've learned the hard way that traction/grip tape can cause serious bumblefoot eventually.

    Egg weight loss questions...

    I have what feels like a bit of a problem. I have two emu eggs that are on day 26 of incubation. Their temperature has been 97.0 (with minor fluctuations when turning the eggs etc.). I have been trying to slow their weight loss since day one! Based on a 48 day incubation they should be losing...
