So our new boy arrived yesterday, and as well as the usual quarantine wormers etc, we decided to give him a footbath. The problem was how to do it without using loads of solution ??? . Luckily, I remembered somebody on here saying that they use a pair of old wellies :idea: .
It wasn't easy, I have to say. However, after a few false starts and some bribery we got him to stand in there for long enough. It was also quite amusing to watch! :roflanim: :

Oh, and another thing, once they're settled, you can stand on the toes of the wellies to skoosh the solution around their feet for better cleaning too :thumbsup: .

And so say all of us! Don't ever leave the forum Womble!

LOL. I'm still not sure if I'm unusual for doing things like this, or if I'm just unusual for posting photos of them and not being embarrassed! :roflanim:
-
LMAO! That's brilliant, he looks utterly bemused :thumbsup:

No Womble, its great that everyone shares their experiences, thats the beauty of the forum :thumbsup:

What a great idea - and what a lovely boy :)

Yes indeed - he's lovely. If you think his front end looks good, you should see his @rse and b0ll0cks though!! :roflanim:

So that's why my boots were soggy when I put them on.
