 |
|
Hello everyone.
I raise Nubians and their long ears are constantly getting frost bite. I purchased a couple of "heated water buckets" a couple of years back from Hoegger's; yet they didn't last long; and at $30 per bucket, I was hoping for something that would last longer than a year.
Can anyone in here suggest some kind of heating that would keep the water from freezing and their ears out of the water?

We use either a big tank and just chop ice or let the water overflow just a wee bit and the automatic waterer if the weather gets below freezing for long periods of time...like now.
I have Lamanchas, so only have to worry about the occasional wet beard. 
Would oil or Vaseline help?
