Re: Magnesium: Amount and serving times vs Calcium for MBD treatment?
Sorry to bother everyone with an update that probably no-one is even reading except our handful of long-time participants here (My thanks to the five of you!).
But a few new details:
MySquirrel still is continuing to age. She is about 546 grams now.
Unfortunately, I have stopped taking her out for walks in the two nearby parks she so much enjoyed because as she rolls around and digs in the soil... she seems to pick up UTI. If i do not take her out - anywhere but around the house... no infection. Too bad. But with age, she has become more mellow and really enjoys balancing on my shoulder, or curling up on my folded arms, and really loves hiding under my heated vest... while choosing to peak out to the left, to the right or center!
I have gradually made some changes to the recipe:
Reduced the amount of nuts and calcium, while I increased the amount of rodent nugget dust, water, coconut oil.
Now that MySquirrel is stronger, and more used to these custom blocks, really enjoying them and eating them mostly at every meal (three times a day),
The blend is 500 grams of a mix of moderately ground and finely ground blanched filberts
900 grams finely ground 2014 Rodent Nuggets
24 grams Calcium citrate
6 grams Magnesium Citrate
Water 1050 CC
Coconut oil 140 CC
Really need to whip that oil water combo as it is just very near boiling temperature with a high speed drill stirrer, and continue to stir as you SLOWLY pour the water oil mix into the slow moving mixing bowl.
