[QUOTE="totoro, post: 141083, member: 3155"] I just watched a special about Moose and this is a problem all over... they say with Global Warming it is keeping the tics from freezing and dropping off at the right times... they are able to survive longer. So the Moose become infested with them, and enemic... they lose huge patches of fur from trying to rub off the tics... They can't stay warm, they can't keep fat on their bodies... no win situation... very sad. We have Moose all over it is worse this season due to how much snow we have. On the one hand you don't want to feed them... because you want them to be and remain self sufficient... but you feel for the poor thing... They will remove them here if they become too aggressive. But since I live in a pretty rural area... she is actually in a good area... there is actually enough food for her. I think it is the tics... When I look at the bedding area where she lies at night it is covered with dropped off tics... I have had to treat the cats and Clemmey... which normally we don't in the winter. I warned the neighbors as well. [/QUOTE]
