Another Tail and Tail bagging question! sorry!

Miss Robn Time · 03-02-2005, 03:50 PM

Hello, i've taken notice there are ALOT of topics started on here about tail up keep, and now i'm starting one of my own!! tonight i finally got the time to completly brush, detangle, unmat, and clean Robins tail....she's missing quite a bit of hair, even with the help of a detangler....so my question is, how long do i leave her tail in the bag before i take it back out and redo it all over again....or whats the basic rule with it, before i just used them to trailer b/c no one kept a ratty tail, but Robin does, so we are gonna try n bag it.....i took pictures of it after i brushed it out, and after i bagged it....lemme know if you see anything wrong....

everything looks good to me...a suggestion is one of those tail bags that aren't stretchy, they are like waterproof stuff. it's on State Line Tack....i'll get u the website:Here It Is
i hope it works! they last 4eva! i leave my horsie's tail bag in during the winter for as long as it will go without rotting lol. he dusn't lose hair because the tail bag dusn't slip, i don't have to worry about tying and breaking hairs, i don't braid it too tight, but not too loose either. some ppl say to put baby oil gel in it and comb it out and leave it in(havn't tried it but it's supposed to work miracles) and that will keep it detangled and keep the hairs stronger. i hope i could help! in the summer i will keep it in for about 2 weeks, or less cuz it tends to rot quicker in the humidity and heat. good luck!

another thing....when u put her tail up, leave the shorter hairs at the top hang loose so she can swat flies, it also keeps the shorter hairs(which are more likely to break) from breaking.

Thanks!! these stretchy ones were 5 for only $20!! normally their $8 a piece!! so thats why i bought these, and i've already devised how i'm going to attche bindertwine as a swisher thing for the summer flies!......and is there any detangler or moisturizer that is really good out there that will help her tail....
