Thanks in advance.
You guys didn't tell me the mazuri smelled like cat food ? was not prepared for that hahaha. Should I water it down you think?u can get a stock tank from feed stores. That would work. They have all sizes
Yes soak it in water for like 10 min. And just mash it upYou guys didn't tell me the mazuri smelled like cat food ? was not prepared for that hahaha. Should I water it down you think?

WowMy friend and I took her sully, 85 lbs, to the vet. I have an SUV. So we put a tarp over the entire cargo area. Then we used a wide board as a ramp and dangled romaine in front of him. Bless him...he walked right up and into the car. The ride is 1 hour, and he was quiet and calm. At the vet's, they had a litter they brought out.
He was away from home for 3 hours, and he didn't pee or poop the entire time! The only difficulty we had was when we got him home, he refused to come out of the car onto the ramp. It was nap time. Took a bit of prodding and pushing, but finally he walked down.
What a good boy!
Wow
You are my hero!!!
The two times I had to take her to a vet I looked like I ran a five mile marathon!! She squirms and turns and kicks and poops and pees everywhere in the huge black tub I take her in.. (also threw a tarp on the floor of the suv) ..and by the time I got to the vet she was half way out of it!.. when I finally saw the vet I couldn’t care less what was wrong I was trying to correct my heart attack/stroke I was having... when the doctor said she would be ok ... I could have pinched her butt!!! (I didn’t by the way).
But I could have. ???
Now I understand why Tom says “they don’t like travel “..... he is sooooo right!!
Hows the lil one doing? And did he like the mazuri?Ok can do!
Not the first day. I chopped up his favorite butter lettuce really teenie and mixed it in and so far he'll eat it lol. He's getting a little more of the butter lettuce than normal for the moment so he'll eat it all lol. And I got stuffs from Kapidolo Farms too and thats mixed in too. He's still scarfing so... ?? ?Hows the lil one doing? And did he like the mazuri?
I actually started out with a paper reams box. Then a black hanging file box. Then a half hard-sided cooler bag. She likes that one. It's big enough she can move around, but small enough that she feels cozy (she falls asleep in it). I can keep it climate controlled bc it's a cooler. I can clean it easily bc it's seamless, hard plastic along the sides and bottom. It "breathes" bc it has a fabric top. And...it looks like an oversized lunch bag (cuz that's what it actually is) so I don't have to worry about someone getting fluffy about her and can take Morla in on my other errands (not have to leave her in the car or drive all the way home rt away).Wow

here's @2turtletom video on how to get them to eat zoomed pellets.I hope he's like that! TT said thats what they feed them on top of grass and lettuce, but I don't trust a word they say now, so we'll see...
Thats awesome! Thats actually exactly what I do for him by mixing all that up! I have the zoomed, mazuri and a bunch of Kapidolo Farms packs as well as some grocery greens/grasses/weeds to change it up. So far any red plant or his grass works to get him to 'accidentally' eat the mashed pellets lol
