Individuals who want to enjoy a more out of the ordinary aquarium pet than goldfish may want to consider keeping seahorses as pets. Seahorses are actually classified as marine fish and buying and selling them is regulated by international law. It's a good idea to do some investigating first to find a reputable source of … Read more

Yes! Fainting goats really do exist! Without watching the footage of these goats being scared, you probably wouldn't entirely believe that they exist. However, the "fainting goats", real name "myotonic goats". A fainting goat is a breed of domestic goat whose muscles freeze for roughly 10 seconds when the goat is startled. Though painless, this … Read more

How about a mouse, they are only 3 bucks and can live inside an aquarium (without water of course).  Buy 2 mice, a 30 buck aquarium,  10 bucks in food would last probably 3 months, toys 10 bucks maybe a few extras and yours set. Compare it to dog or cat and you save a … Read more

Hermies only molt after they bury themselves several inches under the sand. 

They only come out of their shell to molt or change shells. If your hermie has come out of his shell, he is probably dying, or has died. 
I've had this happen to me a few times. I'm sorry … Read more

Keeping a dog in your handbag is pretty cruel, and can be stressful for all parties. 

The side-effects of doing so are as follows:

  • Your handbag won't live as long. With all that extra weight, and all those little claws, you'll wear it out far more quickly than you usually … Read more

 Keeping a dog in a handbag will restrict its normal behaviour. Most dogs are used to running around freely, going to the toilet on their own, and hiding when they're scared. 
All these instincts will be curbed if they are restrained in a handbag on a regular basis.

Black panthers (melanistic leopards) certainly exist, and they had an example in London zoo for some years. The reason for the melanism is not really known, and of course they stand out sufficiently well in the wild to be at a bit of a disadvantage when hunting - compared to a "normal" leopard.

An Olinguito is the latest species to be discovered y scientists. It's being described as a cross between a "teddy bear and a cat" - which means it should make for some hilarious olinguito memes!

Because hanging upside down allows them to roost in places where predators like birds of prey wouldn't be able to find them - dark nooks and crevices. There's also less competition for these kind of spaces, because no birds can perch upside down.

There are also more "osbtacles" and "sounds" on the ground, which would interfere … Read more

Has anything in her cage changed recently? Sounds like a panic attack, if something new is bothering her, she may be freaking out. If not, do you take her out a lot? She could be stressed from lack of enrichment and stimulation in her life.
