Hi all !  Especially those who responded to the post about the gallon
feeding syringe.
 
I was just trying to make light of the situation I was in, having to feed
one, 7 more climbing up my legs, a 15lb cat getting ready to pounce onto
my lap.  Although, trying to refill a 35cc syringe can get to be a hassle.
Just not enough hands.
 
I did get quite a few leads on suppliers and catalogs - plus a neat idea
for a "group feeder" utilizing a plastic bottle, tubing, and clamp.  Kind
of like the old IV Bottles.  You would be able to store, shake, attach
tubing, invert and feed.  Clamp tubing to keep soup from flowing while
changing animals.  I thought it was a neat idea.  Thank you Karla.
 
For Steve, Sharin and others who wrote asking, "so, what the ^%$^% is a
Degu??", a degu is a animal native to South America (Chile).  It is a
rodent that is slightly larger then a gerbil, looks kinda like a
squirrel/rabbit mix.  The one I held the other day had extremely soft fur
like a chinchilla.
 
There are several sites that have pictures and more information on degus.
Two that I wrote down were:
The Degu Home Page -   HTTP://HOME-1.WORLDONLINE.NL/~HLELI/
Small Animal Home    -   HTTP://WWW.BLARG.NET/~CRITTER/INDEX.HTML
 
Good News !!!  Hershey has only been on the amoxy / carafate for about 2
days now.  I am curious if either is derived from swine.  The reason I ask
is that he is now making a pig out of himself.  This afternoon I found him
stretched out over one food dish while eating out of another.  He was too
intent on making up for lost feedings.  He was not about to let any of the
other kids have any until he was done.
 
Luv to all the fuzzies !!!!
