    The goats will probably most definitely need deworming too. They get worms easy, especially with all that water.

    Cover the sulcata s shells in mud to keep the mosquitoes from digging under the scutes and use coconut oil to stop fungal mold. Then feed them pumpkins so help with de worming. Hope this helps and saves you from having to take them to the vets. Also tip the sulcata nose down to help drain any water that may be sitting in their lungs. Bless you Blake for having to keep going through this. Especially when it’s not an easy fix nor cheap. Stay safe and take care 🤗🤗

    How thick is the concrete pad and dimensions? When Greg and his team come to do the pond, rent a crane. Lift the pad and put footers or pillars in. The issue I’m seeing is once you raise the ground the water will be dammed up towards the fish and other turtle in-closers. Need a areal view of your land when wet and dry. That will help you in determining how to make your run off and not upset your neighbors. Second thing would be to drill a well and use it to drain instead of supply. Yes we did that on our farm. Letting the ground filter during wet season and using for our stock during dry season.

    Oh my, what an absolute mess. It is going to be a huge clean up job. Sounds like a good plan you have to raise the level of the ground and the barn. I have no expertize whatsoever so I am not even going to attempt at giving you advice about anything. Just encouragement to do the things you need to do. It is so sad that you have to go through this sort of thing every time the rains come. Hope you are able to work something out for next rainy season. Like others I will be praying for you to succeed and get those animals in dry safe places. Take care and stay safe. Love from Australia 😢💖🇦🇺

    Bruh no hate but you need to get on working on the flood situation thing when it drys up. You keep adding projects holding off others, preparation is always key and of course you can’t stop your land from flooding but you can reduce where the water is held up at. Imagine one time you forget and your tortoise who are land animals end up in a pool of water. Just take it into consideration

    Hope things get better for you all.

    Sulcata can actually swim a little? They *do* like hanging out in pools, though of course flooded areas aren't too safe. I'd rearrange your pens to limit how many creatures are in the flood plain, honestly. But don't panic if the tort hangs out in the water a little bit. They're surprisingly sturdy so long as it's not *running* water that overtakes them.

    • @Mooffgamesgamer
      @Mooffgamesgamer 4 роки тому +1

    I think the enclosure of the Capybara and Side Neck Turtle
    should be deeper like a catch basin for the flood from the barn where Captain is
    and have a ditch or a drain from the Goat Barn draining towards that pond area
    and the Backside of than Barn can have a ditch or another pond like pen
    for a reptilians like alligator and cayman can be cement bottom with fence
    with little or no water a few meters deep and the length of the barn maybe nearly 2 to 3 m wide
    so the rain water can go there when it floods
    and gate direct to the aviary from the backside of the barn

Just drill a hole and loop some rope through it for a handle. I know I'm an old grandmother but you need shoes and a back support belt. Don't beat your body up now. AND take some human dewormer, you can't help but get something walking around in that water shoes or no shoes. Prayers for sunshine.

    You need to just move the barn up to the road side. I have been wondering about the reason the water is now draining in so bad, what changed in the area to cause it to be so bad this year. You can sue if some one else changed their land and it has caused your place to flood. There is $50k in machine flooded under water twice now.
