Any grain priduct will eventually give you moths if it is laying around long enough, even seed. Zappers are great like Kaz said. I have used bran in the nest boxes and also pine shavings. I prefer pine shavings but had to settle for bran as my orignal supply has gone. As luck (or not) would have the day I buy 5kg of bran I go to check out a new show and guess what I find? Pressed blocks of pine shavings. Oh well won't take long to use the bran up.

 

you can always eat it rip :P

im so sorry for what happened to you their

if when your ready to get some more birds (lacewings or / lacewings )

im happy to help you out jimmy i will give you a few chicks(free) truly i really will

no strings i just think you got a bad deal that's all :rofl:

they will be nice not my left overs as im not established yet so can afford to let a few go before i really begin

i have many mutations and some lovely chicks

although i did have a touch of bad luck recently with a batch of molt

however that was only one clutch (well two clutches combined )and i have rectified the problem

and so far the last of my seasons chicks are fine so... hoping i have contained problem

although im sure to get it again im told everyone does they just don't :P addmit to it

 

 

I was talking about X as in my young chick that I lost. Thanks for the offer. :rofl: I won't be getting any birds for at least 7 months as I am building a house and don't want to build a whole set up only to pull it down or worse leave it behind...
