Hi Amanda,
 
Glad to hear you and the kids are doing well.  One thing I felt I had to
comment on though (and I probably won't be the only one) is giving Monty
apple or wholewheat bread.  Apple can definitely cause blockages and the
sugar is not good for them.  The bread is simply indigestible.  These
little carpetsharks (just like their sea counterparts but much cuter)
need pure fat and protein.  They're kinda like the originators of the Dr.
Atkins diet.  Just a thought to keep him healthy.
 
Regards,
Hawk & Patrick,
Salem, Faye & Bandit the ferts

and Smokey the African Grey
 
Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and
adore them.
