  1. New Member Introductions
    Hi all... I haven't really introduced myself yet. I'm Laura, 19 years old but I'll be 20 in September. I was going to school to be a dance instructor but suffered a back injury 4 years ago that I didn't know I hadn't taken care of properly. So I'm taking some time off and working. In May I...
  2. Aquatic Discussion
    Recently I've become interested in bettas. They are beautiful fish, males and females alike, and they seem to be easier to keep than turtles. (My parents went against the idea of getting a RES yesterday for some weird reason...) I bought myself a betta book and looked at a few websites. Both...
  3. Gerbil & Hamster Discussion
    Hi, I just bought my daughters a panda bear hamster. It was to replace the black bear hamster we had that died. The pet store told us they were both the same tempermant, just different colors. Our black bear was very sweet and loved to be held right from the start. Our panda bear is also...
  4. Chinchilla Discussion
    Here is my dilemma... my chin doesn't care one little bit about a huge PVC pipe that has been in his cage for like 2 months... meaning he barely chews it, only every once in awhile... i put a corner litter pan in there last night, and by tonight he has managed to chew the crap out of it. I kept...
  5. Ugh

    Dogs
    Ok, so I knew it was too good to be true. This house and neighborhood could not be so great. My neighbors have said nothing to me.... well, until tonight. A neighbor two houses down (not close like most housing mind you. Probably a good two acres between us) to complain that my dogs bark all...

  7. Chinchilla Discussion
    :( Hi Guys!! I haven't been on in a long time-I was a member under the same name about 3 years ago when I bought my first chin, but I haven't been on lately. Anyway, my son and I are living with my mother due to my divorce, my mom wants my chinchillas gone in a month!! Her house is just not...
  8. Degu Discussion
    I am new to owning a degu. We only have one female named Gizmo and understand that she should have a companion. Can you put a hamster with her? She is very gentle and thought maybe a hamster would work. We kind of hate to get a guinnea pig because they seem to smell worse.
  9. Vents and Rants
    So, I was called up to the counter to help a gentleman find a new collar for his dog. Not a big issue. Or so I thought. This guy was the most offensive customer I've had to deal with. He wanted a thicker collar with a thicker clasp. He had a small dog, so the only ones we carry are smaller...
  10. Ferret Discussion
    Buttercup here won't touch Ferretone to save her life, so I was wondering if there are alternatives to it? I don't really see much of a selection of that sort of thing in pet stores. I had tried using it on her belly to clip her nails before, but it seemed like she was licking it off more...
  11. Chinchilla Discussion
    I know chinchilla food should not have any treats or a high content of corn in it for the obvious part, but what else is 'bad' for chinchillas to eat? When I go to petsmart, I always tell people that have chinchillas NOT to get the cheapo pet store brands but all I can tell them is it's not...
  12. Dogs
    Do any of you have any ideas what is best to use on cracked pads? Dakota is the worse, he has two good sized cracks that are healed over now on the pads of his rear paws. It is so hard here having only concrete for them to play on all day. We have a very small garden area that we are going to...
  13. Rabbit Discussion
    My netherland dwarf had 4 babies on fathers day. I didn't know she was pregnant...because when I bought the bunnies, the person at the pet shop told me both rabbits were doe. So I bought them both home. The babies are now 4 to 5 days old. But I found that 1 of the bunnie is bigger and much...
  14. Gerbil & Hamster Discussion
    I got a new dwarf hamster a fews day ago, and she scratches at herself a lot. Her coat looks really good and she doesn't have any bald spots, but she seems really itchy. Should I buy a mite spray for hamsters and use it on her? I hate pesticides but I'm not sure what to do! :confused: I use...
  15. Gerbil & Hamster Discussion
    What is the best nesting material for hamsters? I read that some of the stuff sold in pet stores can cause blockages if accidentally eaten. I've used the fluffy stuff (its says all natural on the bag) with all my hamsters and never had a problem, but now I'm starting to worry. I like it because...
  16. Bird Discussion
    Isn't he cute? His name is Aflac! He's so funny. He follows me everywhere! I'm not sure what kind it is. I got him from a pet store, and they said he turned blue when he gets older. I figured it was ok to get him since my mom has a duck and has everything he needs. He doesn't ever shut-up though!!!
  17. Lizards
    I currently have two leopard geckos and have done research and such on them but I still have a few questions that the books and online sources couldn't answer or didn't go into detail enough about. I have a male and female, the female rarely sheds but is in wonderful condition and seems healthy...
  18. Breeder Listings
    Hoping to get a Pug in the future, so I'm looking for Pug breeders in the area. (I live not too far away from Santa Cruz.) Are you one or do you know of one?
  19. Gerbil & Hamster Discussion
    :clap: I just got back from Petsmart with my new dwarf hammy! :clap: She is soooo cute! I am really excited! I haven't had a dwarf before and I love her already. She is very friendly. I'm trying to let her settle in but she really likes coming out and being held. I need you guys to help me...
  20. Amphibians
    Erol is a green pacman frog I bought my little brother for his birthday (not too little, he's 20.) Nate has proven himself to be a pretty responsible pet owner, which makes me happy, knowing that I don't have to hurt him (and I would) Anyhow, he just got him into some frog moss, to see how he...
