dog crate 26 image
Hannah Tyl
Okay, so we are getting chicks tonight, and right now we are preparing their brooder. We were wondering if we could use our dog's crate for the chick brooder. If we cut a hole in it where we would hang the heat lamp, would that be okay? Thanks:)
Answer
I would imagine so as long as it isn't too enclosed so it doesn't over heat, there needs to be a good air flow.
Only day old chicks need intense heat (35C) and just for maybe 4-5 days then it can be lessened quite quickly to say 26-28C within a week if the brooder is indoors. How old are your chicks? If they all lie away from the red heat lamp it is too hot and you need to raise it, they they huddle under it they are cold so lower it slightly.
Best to get a thermometer really and pop it at floor level in the brooder directly under the heat lamp for an hour to see what temperature it actually registers before you get the chicks.

What is the best food I should be feeding an overweight 11 month old dashhound.?
Dora
He weighs 26# and I feed him 1 time per day (1 cup regular dog food) He is crated for 8 - 9 hrs a day with very little exercise.
Answer
I don't understand why you are feeding your CAT dog food and i have never heard of such a breed. No duh take him for regular walks and feed him TWICE a day take him to the vet to see what they recomend. If you don't you are not a suitible dog/cat owner. I don't think a dog should be left alone that long.
