Long story short my female was beening attacked by her male. She was in rought shape and heart her left lag. Now for the past week she's been located in the barn so we can keep an eye on her. But when i went down today i noticed she was not wanting to put weight on her left leg. So i look and...

Well she did drink, so that's good. But i brought her some cheerios that she used to like, she picked one up and just dropped it, and didn't try to go for any others. Is there a way to check there leg and hip for broken bones or something? I bleave one of her wings is broken or badly messed...

sadly all the vets in my area dont i know enough about emus to get them involved, but i will still call around after the long weekend here.

I'm not really sure what to do with my girl. She was getting a little better at the start of the week now she's the worst she's been. On moneday she was atleast trying to eat her normal food, and she was eating some cherrios and blueberry. Now shes not even going fro her favorite treats, she did...

I noticed something on my girl that could explain why shes not eat her normal food. I went down to try some cheerios whit her and it looks like is getting stuck in her throat. So what should i do what can be down?

sorry or the late repaly life got complicated. Fixed the fencings hes locked up behind the barn theres only to 2 views of the pen from there, so he spend most of the time behind it, and the girl is able to stay out of sight. Shes not eating her noraml food, but is willing to eat blueberry's and...

Hey im at the end of my rope. A week ago i went down to the emus and saw my male emu running my femal agaisnt the fence had trying to stomp her. I sperate them; if i didnt im sure he would have killed her. Today he got out from his spertae pen and chased her agisnts the fence and try to stomp...

Update: Let her calm down for a bit. Came down later to deal with the wounds and noticed a few thing that might help figure out whats going on. - wound on the area around her air sack - wounds on her neck - depperesed nature when she final calmed down and allowed me to take a look at her while...

My big girl has been acting a little strange these past few days, she been walking weird in a way that there are no real signs but you look at her and you can just tell something is up. She has also been tripping a lot(see video ). But today i think i found out why. I go down at around 3 to...

That is super cool. I do have a question about there wild mating behavior Do the females choose there partners, i read some where that emu don't mate for life, so im wondering do/have they gone back to males they've been with in the past or do they find a new male. Also what is there main food...

Thanks. I must ask what is a wild emu man, do you watch them in there habitat or what. Thats not something many people can say they have done. Good for you. I have heard kangaroos are cositered a pest is that really the case, or is it more people building into there habitat?

I have 3 emus 2 are 4 years and the other 4months. The adult female is tame on her own terms, she allows people to touch when she wants it the male is inquisitive but a little jumpy. The younger one is tame but still not to sure about people. They live on a active farm so they have been...

So i had some general question on moving and stuff. I have my emus in a pen at the moment but it isnt quite the best for them. So ive been working on a newer pen which should be done in the next month or so. So this leads to my questions. 1) The newer pen is far away from there current one...
