The Zoo

My dog loves to watch the rats doing their things in their cage. They are starting to take the piss though and have realized that while he’s intrigued by them, he’s also afraid of them. So now every time he goes near the cage, they take a running leap at the side to scare the shit out of him. I …

Ugh, my guppies have parasites! I have been keeping guppies and trying to breed them as feeder fish for my turtles.  As you can see, this poor dude has been chased a few times and the turtles did manage to catch his tail. The other day I noticed these white things on a few of the fish (which look greenish …

I wasn’t sure what photo to post, since I have some nice photos of all my pets sleeping and I’m sure I have 1-2 of my hubby as well. So I went through my photos and when I found this, I …

Well since they have been living with us for almost two weeks, it’s probably time to introduce them!  Molly (on the left) and Cleo are our baby dumbo eared rats.  We bought them two weeks ago after falling in love with them in one of our local pet stores.   They are almost three months old and are very very cute! …

Usually the turtles will slide off their basking spot if they see you coming.  That’s how they got their name… sliders.  Frick! is a Yellow Belly Slider and Radar is a Red Ear Slider.  They bask in the sun (or under a heat lamp in this case) and if they see anyone coming they just slide off into the water. …

Last night I had Harley out for a cuddle.  He was curled up on me sleeping while I geeked and watched TV. At one point I sat sideways on the sofa and held him in my hands on my belly… where he curled up and got comfortable.   He looked up at me and then started to lick his belly… it was …

We finally finished working on Harley’s Hedgie Bachelor Pad!  Here are some photos from when we bought it, before doing anything to it.  You can see how huge it is next to our 180L turtle tank!  It’s actually meant for rabbits or guinea pigs, which is why we had to do some alterations to it.  Hedgies aren’t the most hardy …

He loves running around in the water, but he really does look like he’s begging to be picked up in these photos! In the first one he’s looking up me as if to say “WHEE THIS IS FUN!”, but in the second one …

Harley has been with us for six days now, and we don’t really see much of him. When we go to bed, this is what we see, when we wake up… this is what we see.   A spikey little ball curled up behind his snuggle buddy (microwavable for warmth) inside his igloo. If it weren’t for the lack of food …

Well we finally arranged it with the hedgie breeder in Moers when we will be picking up our new wee one. We’ll be driving there Friday night to get him and bring him home with us… two more sleeps!! We have to go to Germany, which is pretty cool… I’ve only ever been to Germany a few times. Once to …

Do you remember a while back when I saw that wild hedgehog outside and was writing about how much I’ve always wanted an African Pygmy Hedgehog? Well it all started a few years ago when a friend of mine got one and I was flooded with photos. Links to it are in the earlier post I linked to, too lazy …
