Pet care

Corn snakes,like all other snakes, are carnivorous. Meaning they feed only on the flesh of other animals. Corn snakes feed small rodents and sometimes lizards, although they have been known to take small birds from time to time. A pet corn snake owner, obviously, will have an easier time supplying his or her exotic pets with mice than anything else.

An active corn snake will eat every 10 days or so. It is recommended to feed your corn snake pre killed prey, especially if the snake has not been raised on live prey. A live prey may also turn on and attack a lazy snake that isn’t feeling too hungry and possibly causing severe harm to your pet corn snake.

Ferrets love hammocks. You can buy this little ferret hammock thing that was actually designed for ferrets. The ferret hammock hangs from the top of the cage and they just love it. They can jump in and out and swinging all night long!  

You can make hanging ferret hammock with the leg from a pair of jeans. The larger (wider) the leg, the more ferrets will fit to the hammock. All you have to do is buy four pieces of some very thin chain from a hardware store, and eight clips (like the kind used for cheap dog leashes) to connect the jean leg to the ferret’s cage. If you don’t know what kind of clips/chains to get, look at the ones with the ferret hammock at a pet store. Jus Read the rest of this entry

Leviticus 11:3-6:

‘Whatever divides the hoof, and is cloven-footed, chewing the cud, among the animals, that you shall eat.

‘Only, you shall not eat these of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, for he chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.

And the rock badger, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the h Read the rest of this entry

see a snake

support a fixed number of snakes. If you kill the nonvenomous

During the terrible destruction of hurricane Katrina and other storms over the past year, thousands of animals were separated from their families during evacuation efforts. This was either because evacuations are set up primarily to save the lives of humans, not their pets. Secondly, even if families evacuated on their own and could have brought their pets, many might not have been able to find them during the chaos of natural disasters.

In response to this important need to reunite families with their pets, Petfinder.com and the Maddie Fund formed the Animal Emergency Response Network (AERN). According to the AERN website, 3,200 animals caught in the destruction of h Read the rest of this entry
