they are clean and spacious much better than you'd expect from a petstore....but what the others are saying strikes a cord with me, while they are helping prevent the problem they are also still actively PART of the problem... hmm

Hi In New Zealand we have a chain pet store called Animates. It's pretty standard sells pet food, hutches etc (has a GREAT range) the usual petstore animals....but they also house SPCA animals to adopt which i think is GREAT. It makes rescue animals more accessible and they often have more SPCA...

I am planning on doing my persuasive speech this year in English on adopting animals instead of breeding and buying. The whole 'dont breed and buy while shelter animals die' concept. I want to explore reasons people would choose to buy from a petstore, or some valid arguements FOR buying from...

Hi, when I first got my rabbit it took him a while to get used to us. He would run around and then when we went to pat him he would run away. We patiently sat with him every day and after a while he started putting his paws up on my leg and then climbing in my lap. It takes a while though...

Hey mine are a bit like that, they prefer to sit in the hay loft and eat all day rather than run around on the fleece. However I think it's nice to have the fleece as it's soft and they do go to sleep on it. Maybe put more hidies and things around the fleece so they feel safe and every now and...

naah mine do that too. I think they're just enjoying being petted.

oh yeah the garden fencing can be lovely. I think C&C cages look beautiful, and I'm glad your mother is reconsidering. Be sure to update us on the outcome!! I think one made of just coroplast sides even if it is higher wouldn't look as nice as the cubes. But that might be just me...

Although it was approved i can't help but think you'd see more binkies in a larger cage. But I also know how about how hard it is to fit a cage into a room in the house and all that so I still think it's excellent and if it's approved that's even better. My rabbit is small but he loves LOTS of...

For me, my dwarf lop is a lot more active, friendly and playful. The guinea pigs main interest is eating. I provide my guinea pigs with a large cage and toys but their favourite thing to do still remains.....eating. Timothy (my rabbit) is gorgeous. He will run around, snuggle his head into my...

just wanted to add, it's not too difficult to litter train rabbits. I suggest you give it a go!

I have *tropical fiddle sticks (large) *wigwam *fleece *under the ramp is like a hidey because there is a towel draped over *one pellet bowl *one fruit bowl *one water bowl plenty of room to roam

I saw those and thought that although it looked pretty cute the idea was kinda silly. I did end up getting the water bottle though, only because it was made of good durable stuff and good quality.

They went a while back and just had the one dose but a month later they seemed to be scratching a lot again so I brought them back in last week and the vet said if they didn't seem to be improving after this dose then they wouldn't need more. They have improved greatly in coat condition it's...

I have recently started housing my guinea pigs indoors and I understand that this is better for them. My only concern is that the air is quite still in my room and even when I open windows it doesn't feel as fresh and natural as an outdoors environment. I'm in New Zealand so it's getting into...

my girls have recently been treated for mites. Most of Ruby's hair has grown back and she had an open wound that healed up nicely. But she's still scratching!! I don't know it it's still mites or if it's just scratching out of habit. Before when she had mites there was patches of hair loss and...
