Thinking of getting a Bearded Dragon?

Posted on May 11, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I am thinking of getting a bearded dragon. I have had alot of pets (dogs, cats, birds, rodents…etc.) over the years and am fairly experienced at keeping pets, but I have never had a lizard of any kind. I was told a Beardie was a good first lizard. I need advise on feeding and especially housing. Are crickets better then worms? What is the best housing? I was looking up habitats on petstore sites, but I don’t know what’s better, the aquariums, or the screened cages. It seems like the airflow in the screen cages wouls be better, but I am worried the lizard will damage it and escape, and one reviewer on one site said he had problems with CRICKETS eating the screens! Also, what is more important to the Beardie, floor space to strech out, or head space to climb up (a long enclosure or a high enclosure)? If you know a good website to order good habitats from that would be apreciated! ThanX.

caring for ringneck parakeets questions?

Posted on February 29, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

hello, we are thinking of getting a breeding pair of ringneck parakeets to keep in our OUTDOOR aviary. They will be in a part by themselves with no other birds. we would like some questions to be answered please- firstly can they stay outside? are they hardy enough to stay outside during the winter, how cold can they stand it to get? would i need to buy a special nest box for them or would they be ok with a cockatiel nest box to breed in? finally, is there a special parakeet seed mix that i need to feed them or would they be ok with cockatiel feed (plus the fruit and veg they need)? Thank you!
thanks jared, that helped loads- can i just check where are you from because if you’re from USA then your winter is ALOT hotter than ours in the UK. Thanks

Feeding the animals during snow- are baby carrots bad for birds?

Posted on February 14, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

Well, I was thinking of chucking some decent but stale bread and veggies into the creek for the wildlife here in the NorthEast (I’m from Long Island and I have no clue up here- yet! )
So, what can I toss and what do i have to send to the dumps to pile up?
Thanks!
Also, what I’m asking is- are whole baby carrots going to be a choking danger, or do birds generally know what to avoid?

Dating ideas for teens?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by admin| 9 Comments

Looking for ideas for dates… I’m 15, so I’m limited in some respects. I was thinking of star watching out in a park after a home dinner… and bike rides when it gets warmer out (little brisk right now considering it’s almost january).

We’re planning on going bowling together soon, and we’ve already gone bird feeding (which by the way, was a good idea).

Suggestions anyone? Please, serious answers…

Thanks and happy new year!

Baby parakeet wont eat!! I have handfed it. Now wont eat it!!?

Posted on July 5, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I started to handfeed 2 parakeets when the parents flew away. They are about to have all of their feathers and 1 of them used to eat so well but now he refuses to eat. He will not eat seed we had started them on millit and he eats just a little bit of that. I am thinking of puting him in a parakeet nesting box with the other birds his age are with the parents feeding it. What should i do? put in the box? or what action and if u know i would like to know what has too?

What do you think of this name(s) for a pet store?

Posted on April 22, 2011 by admin| 13 Comments

We are working on opening up our own pet store by X-mas time this year. We were thinking of “Pet Barn” but, thinking about it, it sounds more like a feed store than a pet store. ( unless you think differently. Let me know.)
So then we were thinking of a tropical theme for our store. So here are 2 name ideas: Pet Island or Pet Paradise. What do you think? Or can you think of a tropical or country name for a pet store?
How would you decorate a pet store with one of these themes inside and out? How would you lay out the store? Where would you put the check-out counter and animals & supplies and food.

We will not be carrying dogs or cats. We will be working with our local shelters for that. We will be selling small animals, chinchillas and bunnies, small birds, reptiles and fish. And products for everybody.

Let me know your ideas and and suggestions on what you would like in a pet store if you owned it. Thanks and have a great week.
If you like the name ” Pet Paradise”, what kind of slogan would you give it? Like petco is ” Where the pets go”

I love getting peoples ideas!
