grizzer – Sep 9, 2011 12:00 AM

If you watched the Youtube video, then you've seen how Grizzer beats the heat. He likes to paw at his water dish, so we've given him one of the pup wading tanks,. Of course, Grizzer's a bit too big to wade, but he likes to paw at it and empty it. We decided not to put a pond in this habitat because we didn't want to lose space. Grizzer is often running between enclosures and a pond would limit his raceway, but after filling his wading pool 4 times, I believe I can design something that can allow him to immerse in the water. Of course, this will have to wait until Spring. Even though it's 80 degrees, the forecast for next week is 58. The water season is short here in comparison to the other seasons. We are using Castor Oil on his head, which makes his hair greasy again but it makes his skin soft and pliable. He does prefer to lick it, but he willingly allows us to massage his head. I'm not sure about hair growth, but it has only been a week.
