What to feed a hatchling chicken turtle?

Posted on May 5, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I am doing a snake survey in a wildflower preserve on campus at my college and while walking out I found a tiny turtle on the path. I am in herpetology so i took him home to bring to claas tuesday. I kind of want to keep him for a while to grow and then introduce him to the closest pond in the preserve. He hasnt eaten much, if anyting and i was wondering if abyone knew what/how to go about feeding him. I read hatchlings are mainly carnivorus so what are some suggestions for food??
We are allowed to take animals off of campus. It is not state property and we have permission. I am scared that putting him in the pond now will not give him a good chance of survival because he is so small. I know what is nature but I would like to give him a better chance at surviving maybe by letting him get a little bigger first.

Does Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul dog food contain ethoxyquin in their fish meal? How cn I find out?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I need to know if Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul uses ethoxyquin to preserve their ocean fish meal.

I have heard that since the they don’t catch the fish themselves they don’t have to add in the label if the companie that they recieved the fish from uses ethoxyquin as a preservative in the fish.

Im asking beacause we have 6 dogs to feed & they eat quite a lot so looking for the price too.. 3 that were rescues and 2 that were technically recues at our shelter here but were owner surrendered…
They range from 15lbs- ~50 lbs in weight.. we just started them in that.. As they are going to be making us go broke from all the food we have to buy.
Where I live its about $23 for a 40 lb bag, quite a bit cheaper then what we were paying for before switching.

How should I preserve cooked chicken?

Posted on March 31, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I used to live in a dorm at the university, but now I am living off campus. The food offered in my school is extremely expensive and not good quality or healthy.

Since I won’t have time to come home multiple times between classes to cook, I wanted t cook meals for the five days in advance and bring it with me( they have a microwave I can use).

I will be cooking the following:

-broiled chicken or meat
-rice and beans or spaghetti

What is the best way to preserve this? I was thinking about just refrigerating everything, but is it better to bring it frozen?

Also, my menu is very limited, if anyone has any suggestions of simple protein rich meals, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

He is 3 months old. I have him on a holistic Blue Buffalo right now but it gives him soft poop and diahrea so i think it is too rich for him.

I know this one is less good than BB but BB is TOO rich for him so i have to take it down a notch.

Yes it is the food, hes been to vet no parasite.

I know you all are going to say corn meal is bad and isnt digestable but think about it. We eat things that are non digestable. WE need ruffage in our diets so why dont dogs need any ruffage? Pluss chicken is the first ingredient…
I also give him fresh raw veddies like carrots to chew on so he gets more veggies.
