The Manitoba red garter snake is just plumb a most amazing creature. Not only does this little 20 inch snake survive harsh minus forty (- 40) degree cold winter Canadian weather but also travel as much as 50 miles to do so.
The center for this hub of snake activity is a town called Narcisse, in the Manitoba Interlake region west of the area center of Gimli. This geographic area of Manitoba is called as such as it lies between the two major glacial lakes of Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba.

So let’s talk about the seemingly dying breed of snake charmers. Exactly where did they come from? How did they become charmers of snakes and how do they do what they do?
It is said that the Guru of Snake Charmers taught people to revere Reptiles rather than be afraid of them and that the art of charming snakes emerged from those who were in the business of treating people for snake bites. Those who sought to follow in the Guru’s footsteps were trained as to how to properly handle a snake and what to administer for Snake bites. These healers as they were called, also removed snakes from people’s homes and became known for their healing abilities and the ease with whic Read the rest of this entry

A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7, 2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (else era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011).

Until the last 40 years, ferrets were fed what we refer to as a “natural diet,” which was similar to the diet of the domestic ferret’s wild ancestors. In recent years as ferrets have become more popular, they have been fed commercially prepared ferret, cat, and kitten diets. While this is convenient for us as owners, is it what our ferrets were meant to eat? What exactly is a natural diet, and what are the benefits and concerns associated with it?FERRETS ARE CARNIVORES

Ferrets are obligate carnivores, which means that they get their nutrients from a diet high in animal protein and fat. Their diet must be a meat diet, because they are unable to digest vegetable protei Read the rest of this entry

One of the guinea pig’s traits that really sets it apart from other small pets is its way of communicating with you and with other animals. Cavies have an array of physical and verbal communication methods that make it easier for you, as the owner, to get inside their head, see what their thinking, and provide them with what they need.

Because their methods of verbal communication are the most unique, we’ll start by discussing those.

Many first-time guinea pig owners have often heard rumbling or clacking sounds coming from their tiny creature’s cage but never really suspected that those noises were coming from their pet, but they are. In fact, a group of rowdy Read the rest of this entry

The Rabbit in the Bible:

RABBITS ERRONEOUSLY CALLED RUMINANTS IN THE BIBLE

The health of your pet is extremely important to you, right? You worry about their teeth, their diet, and make sure that they get adequate exercise. If you are like many people, you consider them a natural extension of your family. If this fits your feelings toward your pet, then there are three big reasons to consider bed pet steps a necessity, not a luxury.

It is often assumed that pet steps are only for elderly or ill pets that are no longer capable of pouncing up onto the bed on their own. While it is entirely true that older pets will need steps to protect their joints and muscles, this is true of younger pets as well.

Formally known as the Hot Rods, Rat Rod Trucks were the craze of truck enthusiasts in the mid 1950’s and comprised of fancy trucks with a bouquet of fancy decorative pieces on its outer body. The craze for Hot Rods began in the early 1920’s when a couple of machines were built for thorough durability; these early models lacked fenders, bumpers, hoods as well as accessories and instead used decorative items in place. In fact the truck’s body parts were also used as a substitute to the standard accessories.

Today Rat Rod Trucks are custom manufactured by skilled technicians, being built by scratch and thoroughly tested for performance. Some of the Rat Ro Read the rest of this entry
