Posted by: rosebuds at Sat Mar 17 21:14:12 2012 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by rosebuds ] Pewrry, I have a question about how you kept them prior to brumation. Do you keep your chucks on sand, by chance? You know that I also got a group of chucks from that same area, but as rescues. One large male was fine for awhile, but started dropping weight and when we did an xray, his belly was packed with sand. I tubed him for awhile, then fed him high fiber to help it all pass, such as finch seed and the usual greens. Within a few weeks, he resumed self feeding and has been fine since, and I do not keep any of them on sand. While fasting will help them pass the food stuff that they have in their guts, it will not help pass sand. That is much more tricky and can be deadly if they do down for brumation with a great deal of sand in their intestines. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
