Ribena?

HI guys, i'm just thinking is it advisable to put a few drops of ribena in their drink occasionally? Cos its rich in vitamins. Any comments?

IMO, I say no, cos it is too high in sugar. Why not add a children's multi-vitamin instead?

Chins are from arid regions. They do not drink much and I strongly (very strongly, I can't emphasize this enough) advise against adding anything to their drinking water.

My chins get a very simple diet; plain water, mazuri pellets, and timothy hay. That's it. And they are all healthy and thriving. On a very rare occaision (once a month or so) they get a raisin.

There are a lot of chin web sites out there and quite a few of them are full of garbage. For example there is one that recommends a diet of fresh vegetables everyday.

To answer your other question, female chins do not menstruate.

Btw, although the amt of citric acid in oranges is quite low...i wouldn't even try it. Some people give cranberry juice instead. It's a good diuretic.
