wild animals

Hello, I am currently living in rural Newfoundland (All of newfoundland is rural but I digress) I am moving to Nova Scotia in the fall and am looking for a pet skunk. I know that it is legal to have skunks as pets in these two proviences that I plan on living in indefinately, I am just having...

Alright, I am not any where near knowing enough about mice. Before now, all I knew was that there were little field mice running all over our property that my dogs love to chase. This scholarphip is VERY important to me. I'm considered to be pretty smart, but I'm not a genius and I'm going to...

hey, i hope this is the right place for this.... our neighbor was mowing and saw something tiny scurry out of the grass....and he found this-- There were TONS of them. that was just the TOP of the hole! are they bunnies?? We couldn't figure it out... He stopped mowing and covered them...

Recently this has come up and trying to be polite I didn't want to take over someone else's thread to discuss it. Funny thing is I never thought this would come up on a forum of mice\rat lovers but hey stranger things have happened! First off let me say I am not in ANY way against snakes or...

the only reason i have this turtle is because my uncle had found it in my granmas backyard, and by accident he almost killed it, but he didnt, so i named it lucky. anyways (back on subject) he rescued it, and he gave it to me, cusz he knows i love animals. so i think im doing everything right so...

First, I want to make sure everyone knows I'd rather keep my bunnies indoors. But alas, there are reasons which might mean I'll be forced to turn them into outdoor bunnies. My parents hate animals. (I don't know why, don't ask me!) My mom dislikes the smell of small animals, and she has been...

Cool! A white Orca/Killer Whale has been photograhed! http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/03/07/white.killer.whale.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest I love the animals in the sea. I wish I could swim in the ocean all day long and just learn and explore about them. :) One day!

Last night my mom came home with a baby rabbit that they had found in a neighbor's yard. One of the neghbors had stepped on it and I believe it has a broken leg *(back left leg). He had very light bleeding from his nose. This morning I checked on it and noticed it's right eye is swollen and...

I am trying to rally support for laws in Illinois to be changed. My brother got us a pet skunk for a wedding gift. What a strange thing, huh? If you didn't know, pen raised (not wild) domestic skunks actually make wonderful house pets. However, after contacting my vet to get all of the...

I hope that this is in the right section of the forum. I'm wondering, which would be a better pet for me, a dwarf hamster (or 2) or a rat? I want to get one as soon as my grandparents move out of our house, within a year or so. Here are some things to help your answers. 1. I'm still in high...

Last week we came home from the store to find a young female mouse stuck in our sink, she couldn't get out and kept slidding down. I was able to put a cup over her and get her into one of those plastic carrying cases. We went to the petstore and got a plastic carrying case that has a hole on the...

On sunday Im getting an untamed spiny mouse, Im not sure if it's male or female yet, but im taking it home with me because someone gave it to her little boy for christmas, it bit him three times and they can't cope with it, they lost it behind the fridge and so when they get it out and I can...

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted. It's been busy. At any rate, there's only one store nearby where I can get my goos the right food (without molasses), and I can get it in bulk at a good price. So I headed over there and picked up a few things. As I was checking out, the girl asked...

Alright everyone I know I haven't been on here much lately but I am asking everyone to help me out! I recently watched Hayden Panettiere (Claire from Heroes) on the Ellen show. All they were talking about was Hayden's recent trip to Japan to help save the dolphins. They showed a clip of Hayden...

What's showing on your computer's desktop right now? Mine shows a picture of my rat Apollo.
