    Re: hair in the cloaka???

    Hi,

    If it's short rodent hair then it really isn't a problem - but long human hair definately can be.

    I once saw a baby iguana die because the boss's wife in the shop got some of her hair in the iguana food and it tangled up the intestines or caused a blockage. You could actually see about 3 inches of it hanging out of the poor thing ( she had very long hair at the time ).

    It wasn't until we found one dead the next day we looked at the food and discovered the hairs.
