I see folks talking about those hand/feet Warmers.. Got some of those around the house all the time as my husband works outside in the winter quite a bit. I go with him from time to time and LOVE these things.
What else should one put in an emergency kit? I would like to put a couple together and under the tank to be ready when need be.
Jars of babyfood, chicken or turkey, applesauce (also can be used to help with an impaction, squash or mixed veggies. Also, a can of 100% pumpkin that also helps clear an impaction.
A rice sock in case of an impaction but of course you would have to have electricity in order to heat it in the microwave but a good thing to have on hand anyway.
I would guess the emergency kit could include everything from first aid to power outages, hurricanes or being snowed in (natural disasters of any kind).
I would suggest canned crix or pellets, in case of limited food supply. I know that sounds a little out there, but believe me when everything was shut down here for over a week after a hurricane, I had to resort to the canned feeders.
I was sorry to see this thread didn't have too much more added to it.
Anybody use any of this stuff? Is it any good? I ordered this in case anything were to happen and I ever had to have it, I wouldn't want to wait. Also have the money for it now and it would figure that if I needed it I wouldn't have the money.
I use panacur to treat parasites in several lizards. I always make sure I have some in case of an emergency. I also keep Acidophiliz+ on hand, and used it to help nurse a leopard gecko with MBD back to health.
I also keep Carnivore Care, Jump-Start, and Repti-Aid, as well as liquid calcium.
I also always keep pediolyte - I have a non-flavored one I use.
Hot water bottles for power outtages during the cold months (of course you would need a way to heat up the water). Make sure you wrap a few towels around the bottle to keep from burning your beardie.
Fresh canned crickets -yeah they smell and they are not all that nutritional, but they keep a belly full until a crisis is averted.
Just an aside if you can't boil water: Before I came up with the water bottle idea, I had a 2 day power outtage in the dead of winter, I was snowed in and there was NO HEAT.... so I had to quickly improvise. It is not fun having a beardied stuffed down your shirt for two days, but it kept her warm and alive.
We've done a couple of threads on this topic before, its always an interesting one to read since everyone has different ideas of what might work for different situations. Here's a link to a thread I started on the topic a while ago - we ended up with a fair sized list covering different areas: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=39278&hilit=emergency+kit
