Little help please

So, this seams pretty obvious to the rest of the world but What's DE??

Diotamecius earth - I've spelled it wrong I'm sure. It is basically dried out diatoms. The effectiveness seems to be something that is argued about periodically. I think there is a thread about it under the natural and organic husbandry section.

So far, I have haven't used any myself.

Not all DE is created equal... please remember that if you choose to use it, ONLY use the food grade version. Even that is hazardous to health if inhaled,but nowhere near as dangerous as the non food grade stuff.

Yes food grade only!! Well ventilated. It killed a lot of fleas but barely scratched the surface with our infestation. They're so bad here first part of summer. DE doesn't work as well when wet either.

Seams pretty obvious now!!

Is constipation normal? The runt seems to be having mild difficulty pooping :/ and will they have scours until they start solids?

I used DE on my dogs to keep the ticks off. It dries anything with an exoskeleton out from the outside in.
