My 7 week old, teacupoo is having problems with constipationMy vet recommended a puppy food high in fiber because this is common in dogs this smallDoes anyone have any recommendations?
No comment on the teacupoo thingI don't want to go off topicCanned pumpkin (regular, not spiced) is a great source of fiber to add to your puppy's regular foodStart out with just a spoonful to see how your pup reactsI just hope that you are already feeding a high quality food, something that does not contain corn or animal byproducts.
Humidity should be at 45% to 60% but higher when the snake is sheddingHydrometers can tell you the tanks humidity levelsWhen in shedding, try putting a plastic container large enough for snake to fit, in your cageCut a hole in the lid and put in damp paper towel to make a cheap humidity boxAlso, dry bathing your snake in lukewarm water for 15 minutes a dayThe larger the water dish, the more humidity you will getPlacing the water dish in a warm area (over under tank heat pad or under light) of the enclosure can increase the effectsYou can increase humidity by covering half, but no more than that, of the cage top with some water proof materialPlexiglass, and wet towels have been usedBy covering the top of the cage on the side where you have the water dish, you will greatly increase the efficiency of your setupThe best way to help keep your cage at the proper humidity levels is to spray the cage once or twice a day with room temperature waterLightly mist the entire enclosure, including substrate and cage wallsThe substrate that you use in your enclosure can significantly effect the humidity in the cageIf you want to increase and maintain higher levels of humidity try using orchid bark,cypress mulch, coconut husk, various mosses(not all moss)Pine and cedar shavings should NEVER be used as they contain chemicals that cause respiratory and other problems that lead to deathThe shavings must be monitored closely and all soiled and wet shavings pulled out immediately to prevent bacteria and fungus growths.
