Sugar Glider Bonding
how do you get a scared sugar glider to bond with you?
i have a sugar glider and she is scared of me do you have any tips for me so it will bond to me?
It is very difficult to bond with adult gliders, so if you have an adult than it is going to take time. You need to literally wear them for at least a few hours per day. You have to get something called a bonding pouch and during the day while the glider is sleeping, you wear the pouch around your neck. This gets them used to your smell. Don’t bother them while they are in there, just wear the pouch, you want them to feel secure in the pouch.
When you are not wearing them, you need to spend time just sitting with them. Get a small tent, and go in there with the glider. Do not try to touch them, or pet them, just let them jump around, and on and off of you. By not touching them, it lets them know that if they come near you, you will not grab at them, or try to touch them. You need to build a respectful relationship and have trust before even trying to really touch them.
Bonding with an adult glider is a slow and sometimes frustrating process. It can take months to years to develop a relationship with an adult glider. The key is patience, and understanding. be aware that you may never bond with them, b/c that is a possibility. Time builds trust, so don’t try to rush it.

Chinchilla Guinea Pig

What pet should I get? Chinchilla, Guinea Pig, Rabbit or Ferret?
I’m 15 years old and looking for a pet. I need to decide from Chinchilla, Guinea Pig, Rabbit or Ferret.
I would like a pet that can be litter train as well as they don’t get nervous when I hold them and pet them.
Rabbits or ferrets are the only two of those that you can definitely litter train, and of those ferrets are VERY high maintenance…think more than four hours interaction with them every day, plus feeding, watering and cleaning daily. They are difficult when it comes to litter training them, and even then they arent perfect, they also bite and it can take a year to train them not to. if you want a litter trainable animal, I’d choose a pair of rabbits…they are social and like company.

How do I make a parrot pinata? shreddable bird toy?
These are the kinds of bird toys I would like to learn to make.

I am looking to make the toys that this link will show you specifically. Thank you for the answer.
It looks like they used dyed palm leaves and some have sisal twine. Not sure where you would find the palm leaf material, unless you live in the tropics, but sisal twine is available at any hardware, garden center or craft store. If it’s ok for birds to chew cardboard, you could use the TP or paper towel tubes, wrap them with the twine and see what happens..

it’s all about focusing on the good and not the bad. what makes you happy and proud. and you like to do. you don’t need to sit around and think about things too much, that’s what makes it worse. maybe medication, therapy, or even maybe a physicarist would make things better. hope things get better for you =].

Custom Indoor Rabbit

This happy little dog has a way of making friends with children of all ages as well as providing loyal companionship to their owners. They have also been used as visitors for patients in hospitals and have been known to help promote a Their ability to hunt down a scent with amazing stamina has been part of the breed’s heritage for centuries. While easily trained, these otherwise intelligent animals are quick to head off in a new direction if a new smell crosses their path. This inherent desire to hunt is one of the more endearing qualities of a beagle puppy. The beagle also has a role with law enforcement and its search for contraband shipments, especially in confined areas where larger dogs and humans may not fit. They are not as intimidating as larger dogs and their keen sense of smell can isolate the smell of what they are looking for, narrowing down their search to prevent false alerts.
Fans of cartoons already know that Snoopy, from the “Peanuts” cartoons is the most well known beagle in the world. Due to its popularity, many families have decided to have a beagle puppy for a pet and are rewarded by a fun loving, loyal animal that ingratiates itself into the family. Often considered to be a happy dog, the beagle has an even temper and docile temperament, and can easily be integrated into a family, even where young children are present.
While some may consider the beagle to be mischievous, they are looking to have fun and their breed is well known for liking to play with others in the household. When a puppy is born and has the opportunity to learn how to act around other puppies, they can quickly adapt to a new home with a new human family. As highly intelligent dogs, a beagle puppy can learn new behaviors and be ready and willing to demonstrate their new abilities.

Rat Hamster

How can I convice my parents to let me have a rat/hamster?
Ok… Now don’t be all: “Ohh… Rats and all other rodents are filthy!!! Why do you want one of them??????” rats actually love to be clean and they always clean themself. Hamsters… Well they just sleep in their crap… But still I really want either one they are so cute and I haven’t had a pet in a while… Our family dog died of old age last year…
First off My choice would be a rat. They are so much smarter than a stuid hamster. They are like miniature dogs! I read on the internet they are starting to use them in the military instead of dogs because they don’t set off mines. Isn’t that cool!?

Even the cleanest and tidiest of homes may soon notice the odd field mouse trying to sneak in to the warmth of their home as the fall evenings become crispier.
No-one willingly buys a home that they know is troubled by field mice, and as they often bring a ‘rodent’ smell into the home, it is best to keep them and their smell out of your home.
Usually a cat will deter a field mouse enough to make it go and look for another warm spot. Just the smell of having a cat in the house is usually enough to do this.
However, not everyone has a cat and not everyone wants to deal with messy and dangerous traps or toxic chemicals. The good news is, if this problem affects you, there is a nice clean answer.

Easter will be here before you know it, making now the perfect time for some delightful Easter quotes. After all, miracles may happen every day but this miracle — the miracle of Christ rising from the cross to free all mankind from our sins — is one that we must never forget. With that in mind, let’s reflect on just how wondrous this gift was with these 12 lovely Easter quotes.
1. “The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances.” ~ Robert Flatt
2. “Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.” ~ Phillips Brooks

Sugar Gliders are amazing pets. Some people find the most rewarding part of owning a glider is watching them grasp and play with their toys.
Watching a sugar glider hold food and other objects in its tiny hands is very cute and fun to watch. Baby sugar gliders (called joeys) like to ride on their parents back, which is very cute and entertaining. Like people each sugar glider is different, they are very social and intelligent animals with distinct personalities. Sharing your house with a family of sugar gliders living with you is almost like a having a piece of the out back in your own home.
Sugar gliders are very sensitive to light and should not be exposed to bright lights or sunlight as it may damage their eyes.. Gliders need human interaction and exercise outside of their cage everyday as they are very social, playful creatures and get bored easily.These pocket pets make a variety of sounds as a means of expressing themselves and communicating. Gliders may bark when lonely or bored, make a loud grinding type sound when they are scared, and a psst or hiss like sound as a means of locating other gliders. Male sugar gliders develop scent glands and a bald spot on top of their heads as they mature Female gliders are generally shyer than males and can be moody
Sugar gliders make amazing pets. They are very curious, extremely intelligent, playful, loyal, relatively clean, and don’t require vaccinations.. They have a lifespan of about fifteen years in captivity which is also considered a positive aspect by many people, in the wild they generally only live six to seven years. Introduced into the United States approximately 20 years ago as domesticated house pets, Sugar Gliders are an extremely popular companion pet. The Sugar Glider is around 6.3 to 7.5 inches in length, with a tail almost as long as the body and almost as thick as a human thumb, and weighs between 3 to 5.3 oz. The fur is generally gray, with black and white patches on the underbelly and black or gray ears. Other color variations include leucistic and albino. The tail tapers only moderately and the last quarter of it is black, often with a dark tip. The muzzle is short and rounded. These animals make great pocket pets, are not difficult to breed where legal, love attention and human interaction, and are amazing physically as well as intelligent. Gliders (as the name suggests) can glide very long distances, recorded up to fifty five yards and manage to steer very well. They use there their back legs to push themselves away from the jump off point and when close to their landing push their legs down to parachute upwards landing with all four legs together. Sugar Gliders are truly a unique pet!

Cats Usa

Do you think every “domesticated” cat in the USA should have a home, or is it OK for there to be wild cats?
I’m just wondering what you guys think, because the norm seems to be that people think most cats should be spayed and have an owner. Personally, I think that’s ridiculous, because the cat’s natural habitat is outside hunting for food like all carnivores.
Most people think that because that is the right answer. “Domesticated” means domesticated, not wild. Non-native wildlife is detrimental to the environment. Felis Catus (domestic cat) is not a native wildlife species.

Chinchilla Natural

Is there any images or film of chinchillas in their natural habitat?
I am finding it hard to find anything that shows chinchillas in the wild. There is nothing! I have never even seen a TV nature documentary which has shown chinchillas in the wild (c’mon the BBC get your act together!).
This is a bit of a challenge, have a look on google and see for yourself. Not much is known about chinchillas let alone their home environment in the Andes mountains in South America. I am really curious to know more about their natural environment as I keep chinchillas as pets. It would be great to see pictures or a video even of a wild chinchilla community.
So if anyone has any images or videos please let me know or give me a link to a website so I can check it out.

Adventure acquires a new example in India. An Indian adventure presents plethora of things from skiing on snow capped mountains in the Himalayas, trekking in the Western Ghats to scuba diving and snorkeling in the shallow sea waters around Andaman and Nicobar islands. Indian subcontinent is truly set apart with an inimitable topography to the pleasure of the intrepid adventurer. The outstanding Himalayas safeguard the Northern front of India while the south is bordered by the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea on all three sides. This creates the perfect environment in several locations for all kinds of water sports, as well as of the dazzling views of marine life and coral reefs. Scuba diving and snorkeling are the two best- appreciated water adventure activities, especially off the coasts of the Andaman and Nicobar while Lakshadweep presents underwater scenery and coral reefs to discover and marvel at.
The rocky topography of Himalayas present an immensely exciting landscape perfect for cycling and biking making it one of the most mind-boggling adventure sports. A person can proceed all by himself with essential equipments and supplies on the bike or have a van following him with all the equipments. A person needs to have all the suitable equipment which has to be carried along the expedition. Water bottle cages, a bicycle helmet, water bottles, t-shirt, shorts, back pack, windcheater are a part of the much needed items. A person should not forget to fit the machine with multi-speed gears to enable him to cope with the heights of the mountains. A person should carry tools needed for repairing in case of a puncture. An extra set of brake shoes should also be taken. A fairly good level of fitness is also necessary.
Billing (8,500 feet) in Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh, Kallahatti near Ooty and some regions of the states of Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Orissa, Sikkim, Northeastern states are some of the outstanding destinations for gliding in India are. A perfect destination for all levels of gliders Billing is located at just right height for enjoying this adventure sport the primary reason being the varied topography, height and climate.

Rat Degu

mouse rat degu or rabbit?
which one should i get/ adopt as a pet?
What one you should adopt is one you will be able to properly take care of. You need to do a LOT of research about all of them to see if you can take care of them.
Degus are the hardest to take care of. Then rabbits. I’ve never had a mouse (though I was going to adopt some, but we ended up getting hamsters instead) or a rat, but they are fairly ‘easy’. They still need to be taken care of properly, though.
My person opinion is degus. They are great. (I do have two bunnies, too. They are adorable, as well. And my bun has wry neck, so he’s on a medication now.)
