My first question is about when to startchanging Mocha over to timothy pellets. I finally found Oxbow timmiepellets today, yeah! I had found them before, but they were in a petstore I would never give money to. She is about 5 months old now andI'm pretty sure she's done growing. Could I start switching her soon? Iknow that 6 months is average. The reason I ask is that she seems to beneeding a little more fiber- she eats some hay, but her pellets areKaytee Forti-Diet and their max fiber is only 18%. She doesn't have anyreal problems, it's just that her hay intake changes with her mood andher poo looks a bit soft when she's not eating hay.

My second question is related to the heat. We have one air conditioner.It's for my bedroom as I sleep during the day and the layered blindsand curtains prevent almost all air movement. It gets really hot inthere. Mocha has a fan and ice, but I'm wondering if I should move herinto my bedroom. Thing is, she'd hardly get any light. Would this harmher? I don't think she'd like it very much. We can't get a second ACbecause it would overload the circuit- one small one almost does.

For now, my plan is to leave things as they are unless it gets super hot.

Thanks!

Pebbles was 5 months old when we gother. She was already eatingunlimitedTimothy Hay, 1/8 cup of Oxbow T Pellets,and regular greens (vegs).

As for your bedroom, leave every thing as is. Andwhen it does get hot you can move her there as a temporarybasis. Pebbles gets free run inourhallway, and the hallway light is always on.

Rainbows! :angel:

Thanks! I'm so excited to get her on some decent pellets!

You said Pebbles gets free run of the hallway- does that mean you'renot caging her anymore? We just let Mocha start running in the hallwayand bathroom again. She had been banned due to naughty hormonalbehavior. I hope to let her run free in part of my apartment all day,but we're a ways from that yet.

Pebbles gets 5 to 6 hoursinour hallway. She is in her cage withthe top off when we are home, she never jumpsout. At night we put the top on.

Rainbows! :angel:
