Talking My monitors are here!!

I know chances are they will be fine but.... The stress... The possibility of dehydration... The temperatures...

I need to be prepared for highly stressed, cold and dehydrated animals when they arrive. I need advise on what I should do for them in the case they arrive in that condition.

What is the best way to get them back to normal temps?

What is the best way to rehydrate them?

What can be done to ease their stress(I'm currently using prescribed Xanax for my self lol)?

I feel so bad for the little guys and gals and I just feel helpless!

Antonio

Yeah, the best thing you can do is put them in the enclosure. You can add some unflavored Pedialyte to their water to help with dehydtration, too.

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

How are they stuck in transit? Were they shipped via live animal shipping?

Re: My monitors are stuck in transit :(

Just received a call from the corporate office. They were able to pull my package. I am leaving now to go get them. All day I was told this was an impossibility by employees and location managers. I make one call to corperate and within 5 min they call back and tell me the package is being pulled and will be held for me at the location 1.5 hrs from me.... So I will be having them home in 4hrs instead of 15!!!!! I post an update soon as I am back with them.

See! I knew it! You basically had to pester until you found someone who was an animal lover xD
