15 Oct 10 Fashion And Accessories For Pets

I have always found fashion to be an important cue in picking out accessories for pets. Dogs and cats are social creatures, so it is good to see how other people are dressing up their animal companions. You can get quite a few good ideas for accessories for dogs by simply going down to the local dog park and seeing what the other pooches are wearing. Pay attention to what breeds get what clothing, and to how the dog seems to feel about it.

You can find everything from cages to treats on Craigslist with a little bit of patience. This can be a great way to get cheap accessories for a pet, and it will also allow you to meet other pet owners in your area. It is always nice to meet someone who has the same interests that you do. As a matter of fact, a lot of lifelong friendships begin with a simple meeting on Craigslist. I met my current girlfriend when she was offering a free gecko cage over the Internet. We started to talk and, before I knew it, we were going out to dinner!

11 Sep 10 The Way To Play Through a Cat’s Day

Although not every cat is extremely playful, if you are patient and watch your cat, you will soon figure out what kind of toys they like. Some cats like to climb and hide in the trees, for these furry friends, a cat tree will provide loads of joyful play time. Others are fascinated with objects that move, and with a fresh supply of batteries and a simple electronic mouse, your cat will be playfully chasing their mouse around the house.

Cat toys that hang and swing are a delight for some kitties, while others are thrilled by chasing laser lights across the floor. For our little kitty, it is natural rabbit fur mice that rattle. She loves to bring it to us and have us throw it down the hallway so she can chase it.

No matter what kind of toy thrills your cat, you will want to make sure that you stay away from cheap cat toys, and provide them with quality toys that will bring happiness to your cat and smiles to your face.

23 Aug 10 Guinea Pig Supplies for your adorable pet!

We recommend paper bedding. Cavies tend to be susceptible to respiratory problems, so bedding materials such as clay litter or pine shavings (bedding materials with high dust levels) are to be strictly avoided. Also, certain woods such as cedar contain relatively large amounts of tree oils. They should also be avoided because tree oils are generally not good for your pet’s health. Paper bedding (often made from recycled newspapers) is highly recommended as it suffers from none of these issues.

Bedding – Proper bedding should include shredded paper, recycled paper, hardwood shavings and straw. Never ever use the typical pet store bedding. Most of them use cedar, fragranced wood shaving that can be toxic to your pet. Instead, look for bedding that states it is safe for guinea pigs on it’s packaging. Bedding should be changed no less than weekly and if possible, twice a week. The health of your pet is directly related to their care and environment. The cleaner the cage, the healthier your pet will be!

You will need either a feeder (which also attaches to the side of your cage) or a food dish. This item will be used to serve feed or pellets to your pet. If selecting a food dish, make sure that it is heavy and stable so that it will not tip when your pet guinea pig decides to stand in it.

When it comes to guinea pig supplies, one frequently overlooked item is the hay rack. Your pig loves hay and it should be readily available to her at all times. One easy way to do this is to use a hay rack which attaches to the wall of your cage. If using a C&C cage, you may be able to find a model with a built-in hay shelter.

Almost nothing is better for your pet guinea pig than some form of grass hay. Timothy hay is a great choice-containing both high-quality nutrition and the long strand fibers necessary for good digestion. Timothy hay can be given to your pet directly or as the main ingredient in food pellets.

Guinea pig supplies and guinea pig products. There is such an abundance of, as well as variety of, guinea pig products and guinea pig supplies available, and our selection is by no means scarce.  The safety, health and comfort of your guinea pig will be determined in a large part by the guinea pig supplies you choose for your pet.  Fun guinea pig supplies may include cardboard rolls stuffed with hay or treats, hay houses which guineas can chew through and stuffed animals or balls which are approved for guinea use.

16 Jul 10 Fish Holding Tanks: Best Practices

If you’re an aquarium owner interested in breeding your fish, you will need to get a holding tank. Trying to leave a female fish in your main aquarium will create many possible problems: she could be harassed and picked on by other fish, or the tiny fry might be eaten by other tank occupants as soon as she releases the eggs.

Although holding tanks can solve the aforementioned problems, they also come with some challenges of their own. Keeping a holding tank properly cycled can be difficult when there are no fish present to keep the ammonia cycle going.

I secretly admired how beautiful the set up was and eagerly awaited the fish to be introduced.

The day the fish were entered to their new tank I was at work and had an extremely difficult and stressful afternoon. I kicked my shoes off when I entered the lounge room with a glass of wine in hand and I started to watch the fish darting in and out from behind the rocks and before too long I was mesmerized.

After watching the fish swim around and explore their new surroundings for a good 20 minutes I had started to unwind and forget about the problems that arose during the day. I now love the fact that the fish tank takes pride and place in our living room, and that any friends or visitors are immediately attracted to the tank which then becomes a conversation starter.

The consuming bowl or container ought to be extensive ample to match their complete encounter (such as whiskers) to accommodate for his or her intriguing require to determine their surroundings though consuming.
