Hello! I have recently started to want a lizard and I'm strongly considering a Beardie! I previously had 2 Chinese water dragon/ baby iguanas that I was aware of ( Got them from petsmart which I now know is a huge NO!) Anyway, at the time I was 12 and I had no clue what I was doing even though I...

Hi guys! I'm considering getting a couple mice. I've had bearded dragons, dogs, cats, and hammies so I have a few questions about general mouse care. The first thing, my residence does not have very good insulation and no heat at the moment except a space heater. Temps are pretty nippy and I'm...

Hi! I recently got a fancy mouse, not from a breeder but from petsmart, a few months ago.. I have fed him oxbow since I got him, which based off all of my research is a very hi quality food. In the last couple days he has gotten so fat.. I really don't know why. Anything that you think...

My husband and I WILL BE THE PROUD OWNER OF 3 (2 MALE, 1 FEMALE) DUMBO RATS! I'm so excited for the babies! They are 3 1/2 weeks old and are still tiny! What do you guys think: Is $20 a fair price for a baby dumbo that has already been vet checked and come with a note from the vet?

So.... Yesterday (Tues) I bought two male Winter White Russian dwarf hamsters. They came from PetSmart and are brothers from the same litter. I'm unsure of their age, though. I have them in a 10 gallon fish tank instead of a cage (I just preferred this idea) so they have a lot of space. They...

Hello all! As you can see i'm new to the boards, as well as a new bunny owner! I've grown up around pets all of my life, however, this is my first bunny my wife and I have ever owned! We picked Zuzu (our new lionhead bunny) up from our local pet shop last night and have had an absolute blast...

Hi, I bought 4 young degus three weeks ago :). Supposedly all brothers :). I had my doubts about one :rolleyes:. Now the three others are fighting, whilst the suspected female sits alone and 'pips' :mad2:. I don't want baby degus. Can degus be safely neutered? And would the males stop...

He is finally here! I went to go pick him up today after a long shop for rabbit supplies. perry looked nervous on the drive home, but after I put him in his new home and after he watched me set up his new home he looked settled! He's been exploring his cage and looks happy! I was also nervous...

I brought home two adult guinea pigs from a local Petco about a week ago. I've been feeding them regularly and spending a lot of time near their cage talking to them, so they had been warming up to me. However, when I fed them this morning, they were acting very skittish towards me, similar to...

Hello I'm glad I found you guys. I need some help and so many of you seem to know so much. OK, here's my question. I just sold my about 3 year old ferret on Friday night. He is now biting the new owner. The ferret wasn't a biter before. Could it be that they should just leave him alone in his...

Hi there! I am taking in a 6 year old male chinchilla who otherwise would be going to the SPCA. I am doing tons of research and learning everything I can to make sure he gets all the love and care he needs. I have some questions and figured I would see what other chin owners had to say. Thanks...

I read up on rats and did all my research and everything before getting some, naturally, but theres one thing books don't have much information on: Love! I have two little girlies, under a year old, but I don't know how to get them to like me! The older one, Bella, she takes treats from me most...

I was told by the petstore worker that she is four to five months old and I know she was kept with males. So she is likely pregnant ... but she and my other female rat are my first rats ever so I am still learning how to take care of rats.. I have no clue what to do with a pregnant rat please...
