    Molting, Bare Skin, and Below Zero Weather in the Next Few Days

    Thank you for checking in! My husband and I agreed that a low temperature oil filled radiant heat radiator would be a good idea, and set it so it was just above freezing to help them. I gave them canned fish to help with feather growth and to help them with generating warmth along with a...

    Molting, Bare Skin, and Below Zero Weather in the Next Few Days

    Thank you, I'm nervous, but I do feel more confident after reading everything. Thank you for recommending tuna. I always have tuna, and I also keep other canned fish since the vitamin D and calcium is higher in those other fish, so would be good for the girls too. Good luck to you too with...

    Molting, Bare Skin, and Below Zero Weather in the Next Few Days

    I never thought about it, but was surprised when you posted protein being low in cat food since by nature they are meat eaters. You ARE reading the label correctly. I googled protein in cat food, and when I picked out a few sites and types of cat food, protein was listed anywhere from 9.5% to...
