What are blue cloud rocks?

I am so glad I decided to check out the forum I will definitely be ordering this ! It changes everything Things have gotten so bad I need a respirator with goggles to interact with my chin let him bath and even clean his cage! Thank you for this post! So excited !

I agree to some extent rdz but research is now showing that in some cases like the isolated molecules in bettacarotene actually increase cancer cell growth but while kept in their natural form discourage it. It is shown that its a combination of these molecules that as of yet science does not...

Thats not the exact study I read but it is very similiar. Here is an interesting article on pumpkin seeds in treating horses (hindgut fermenters) with pumpkin seeds to heal ulcers. http://goodhorsekeeping.blogspot.com/2010/12/ulcers-in-horses.html Here is an interesting article about animal...

Thanks to the above poster. Ticklechins is still bringing up old baggage in which i asked a simple question about y a feed would be bad (temporary situation) if the treats were removed if I balanced the protein levels with a legume hay based on the recomended dietary needs of a chin thankfully I...

Ticklechins you are quite the pot stirrer. In no post have i ever advocated reinventing a chins diet. Im not even advocating this. I found a flaxseed and pumpkin seed study. It wasnt the specific study i was looking for and pumpkin seed specific. I offered the article to suffice for now. I will...

Ok here is a link to a similiar article to the one I read. I will continue to look for the exact study. http://authorpoppet.wordpress.com/health-articles-recipes/pumpkin-health-article/ Tickle chins could you provide a link to that thread I personally find that incredibly hard to believe. What...

This may be better served somewhere like the health forum. I wasnt sure? I read a very interesting article the other day that I thought may deserve some mentioning perhaps mostly for rescues that get chins with these related health problems. Anywho the article stated that lab rats that developed...

This is not about another thread specificly or anything specificly said to me personally. Sometimes it can seem to be implied and the owner may walk away frustrated and not adequately informed. If anyone would like to add any further information on any ingredients they feel are needed like...

Im not saying they are not crap. Im not defending any feed over another. Im just offerring info thats it. Something people can read when they are told their food is crap so that they can quickly ascertain why. I noticed oxbow advertises itself to be fortified on dr. Foster n Smith a long time...

perhaps I should explain further. Protien should be no more than 20% no less than 15% fiber should be 15% or far greater preferably around 18% or more the calcium phosforus ratio should be no more than 2:1 ie .80% calcium .40% phos. ( not an exact example calcium is usually at a max of 1.06% in...

I wanted to clear up what seems to be a common misconception. Bc a feed is fortified with vitamins and minerals does not equate to it being bad feed. All feed whether its oxbow or manna pro is fortified. Fortified simply means that essential trace minerals and vitamins have been added to the...

Yes willow peeled or unpeeled (sometimes referred to as natural) Most companies do not market potential consumables that have been sprayed with pesticides. You could always check with the companies website if it isnt clearly stated somewhere on the package. However most of the sellers here sell...

I asked about a different feed and about the order of specific ingredients in that feed. I dont believe any feed to be the cats meow. We do not know enough about chins dietary needs for any feed to be the cats meow. Most of the extras ive listed are not junk save maybe carrots. They all enhance...

Ok I was told fortified feed would kill my chinchilla and all feed is fortified. So that is incorrect. Im sorry if that offends you but it is the truth. Bonanza chinchilla food did not make Erins chin sick. If it did everyone should stop feeding the herb and grain fusion sold by a wonderful...
