    Teeth Can I clip teeth myself or does the vet need to do it?

    The one bottom tooth does not keep the top one trimmed. I think its a bit misaligned. I will just keep bringing her in.

    Teeth Can I clip teeth myself or does the vet need to do it?

    Several months ago my guinea pig broke her bottom teeth and ever since I have had to bring her in to get the top teeth trimmed. Only one bottom tooth has grown back in and I doubt the other ever will at this point so she will always need her top teeth trimmed. Is it possible for me to do this at...

    C&C Cage Info Request, Lots of Nit Picky Questions about Specific Products :)

    If you want something that looks nice how about 2 ferret nation units (or more) set up side by side? I have my ferrets cage set up this way. Each unit is 2ft by 3ft so a double is 12 square feet. For my pigs c&c cage I don't use connectors. I just use cable ties. I use wood to make the cage...

    I live in the same area and couldn't find any in store either. I ended up ordering online and did site to store for free shipping. I got mine at sears. It looks like they do currently have one in stock in burnsville. https://www.sears.com/floor-standing-6-cube-storage-unit/p-00913332000P

    C&C Making a C&C Cage. Suggestions with cat?

    Here is my cat proofed cage I used 1x2s to add support. The cage is very sturdy. 4 of my cats love to lay up there and it supports them just fine. The top doesn't open. Its zip tied shut. The front opens. I use those clips that are used for dog leashes to hold the doors closed.

    Other dog won't eat. Need help!

    Prey model raw is pretty simple. You feed about 80% muscle meat, 10% bone and 10% organs. If the dog gets 2 meals a day that roughly breaks down to 8 bone in meals, 5 boneless meals and 1 organ meal a week. To begin you want to feed a single protein source. Most people go with chicken because...

    General Inch Worms in the Pig Cage?

    It doesn't look like a millipede to me. I think it looks like an inchworm. I have some tiny baby millipedes and they don't look like that.

    Coroplast How much of a lip on Coroplast Kitchen area?

    I have a 2in lip on my pigs litter pans. I use stove pellets with hay on top. A bit of the pellets get on the fleece once they break down but only right outside the litter pan. Hay does get on the fleece but its easy to clean up.

    C&C Alternatives Considering switching from C&C to single critter/ferret nations. Thoughts?

    Yeah, that would work. I used pieces of solid wood to cover up the plywood edges and used a router to make the edges flush but it wouldn't be necessary. You will want to sand it down but power sanders are cheap.

    C&C Alternatives Considering switching from C&C to single critter/ferret nations. Thoughts?

    I made the top. For a desk you could just make a flat top. The cage is already tall enough by itself. A flat top should be pretty easy to make but you would still need the right tools. The ferrets are not bothered at all by the TV. They have the option to go through a tunnel to their cage...
