Interview with Jedi_sena

My cousin and I are avid outdoorswomen and we have always enjoyed learning about local flora, buying books on edible native plants, and identifying the species on our horseback rides and nature walks and we discuss our finds online.

Caring For Iguanas

Posted: Monday, October 9th, 2006 @ 10:46 am in Exotic/Unusual Pets | No Comments »

Iguanas are probably the most popular lizard kept as a pet today. Many pet stores tell people that they are very easy to care for, but this isn’t true. They actually have very strict care requirements. They also can grow to be extremely large!

Many get baby iguanas not realizing how large they get. They aren’t one of these animals that just grow as large as their tank. When they get bigger, they will need a very large cage, or their own room.

What Should I Feed My Ferret?

Posted: Tuesday, September 12th, 2006 @ 7:55 am in Exotic/Unusual Pets | No Comments »

The food debate

Cat foods have been used by Ferret owners for many years, but there’s a fair bit of debate about which food is best for ferrets, whether high-quality cat/kitten foods are good enough, and so on. The usual conclusion is that while foods designed for cats probably aren’t the best, many of the foods with ferret pictures on the bags weren’t designed for ferrets either — they were designed for mink or cats and maybe modified slightly, and priced twice as high.

Caring For My New Guinea Pig

Posted: Sunday, August 27th, 2006 @ 11:02 am in Exotic/Unusual Pets | No Comments »

Guinea pigs are very lovable animals. They are very affectionate and have their own personalities, which will become very evident within days after you bring them home. They love to snuggle and cuddle. They will live longer than most other small pets, usually five to eight years. Although guinea pigs are naturally healthy animals and rarely get sick, doing your part to care for them can have a direct impact on how long they will live.

Poke n’ Peanuts

Just as much as we love to open packages, your ferret too can share in the fun! Take a box you received in the mail that’s filled with “packing peanuts”. Be sure to remove any other packing or shipped materials. Toss in your fuzzy! It’s like your ferrets very own ball pit. One caveat however, this is to be a HIGHLY SUPERVISED activity.

Rabbits Diet: Is your rabbit eating right?

Posted: Saturday, April 29th, 2006 @ 8:37 am in Exotic/Unusual Pets | No Comments »

The typical diet for a pet rabbit consists of water, hay, pellets, fresh vegetables, and its own caecal pellets. Fruit and other treats are given only in very limited quantities, as they can cause Obesity in a rabbit. Rabbits require a constant water supply as they dehydrate quickly.

Most sources recommend 80% of the diet should be Timothy hay or another grass hay. Too many vegetables in a rabbit’s diet typically leads to Diarrhea and other Digestive Problems.

Getting Rabbits Too Young

Posted: Wednesday, December 28th, 2005 @ 2:07 pm in Exotic/Unusual Pets | No Comments »

I’m afraid of heard the same story too many times. “My rabbit has Diarrhea and won’t eat.” “My rabbit died all of a sudden. What happened?” Often the rabbit in question is too young to be away from it’s mother.

Let’s look at the early life of a rabbit to understand what is going on. A rabbit is conceived and born just 31 days later. It is born blind, deaf, and hairless. In warm weather, the baby rabbit will stay in the nest for just two weeks; three weeks in cold weather. Then it will nurse for a few more weeks.
