pedialyte question

begunwithaletter Aug 16, 2006 10:41 PM

I've had a few people recommend a 50/50 pedialyte and water combo to help facilitate rehydration for really malnourished and dehydrated boas. I picked up some of the unflavored stuff at the store today, but I'm still kinda hesitant to mix it in with their water... any suggestions?

both the new rescued boas have been drinking a TON of water, and both ate medium rats with gusto.I'm sure they could probably have easily taken rats twice the size of what I offered, but I didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten, so I started with something small so it wouldn't be such a shock to their digestive system.

What are you worried about in regards to mixing it in their water?
